title = "The transistor's discovery and what's ahead",
abstract = "In December of 1947 the invention of the transistor initiated the electronics revolution of the 20th century. On its fiftieth anniversary, this paper reviews the history of the transistor s discovery and the subsequent breakthroughs which led to integrated circuit and the remarkable information processing and storage capabilities of today. Prospects for continued progress are reviewed, including key technical challenges. It is anticipated that R&D innovations will drive miniaturization into at least the second decade of the next century.",
