Unit 14 组员： Semiconductor Manufacturing 半导体制造 Introduction （介绍） Semiconductor Manufacturing has a worldwide annual growth rate of 18%.Today ,Semiconductors are a $150 billion a year industry.This rises to as much as $200 billion if the semiconductor equipment manufacturers are included. The projections take semiconductors to a $1 trillion industry over the next decade. 半导体制造业全球的年增长率为18%。如今,半导体是一个1500亿美元的产业。如果包括半导体设备制造商，这上涨高达2000亿美元。预测在未来十年，半导体行业将成为1万亿美元的产业。 Semiconductors and ICs （半导体和集成电路） Semiconductors and ICs are the “brains” of every computing device manufactured today ,from supercomputers to personal computers to kitchen appliances.Tremendous leaps in com- puter science and electrical engineering technology over the past few decades have made possible the wide range of computing devices available today. 从超级计算机到个人电脑,到厨房电器,半导体和集成电路是每一个计算装置的“大脑”。在过去的几十年里,计算机科学和电子工程技术巨大的飞跃使得当今广泛使用电脑设备成为可能。 make possible 使…成为可能 Semiconductor products （半导体产品） The development of computer （计算机的发展） 1.The main force driving the computer industry is not new basic konwledge but the market. Computer users are more sophisticated and demanding than ever.they want higher performance, more functionality, smaller dimensions, and interconnectivity with othei products-all at supercompetitive prices. 推动计算机工业发展的主要动力越来越显示出来并不是新技术而是市场。计算机用户变得比以前任何时候都更加苛刻—他们要求性能好，功能多，尺寸小，而且还要与其他产品能很方便地互相兼容，价格还要特别便宜。 2. Computer makers need to design customer-focused products,outsource to agile as-sembly factories, and orchestrate rapid supply chains. 计算机制造商需要设计面向用户的产品，给具有敏捷装配能力的工厂（组装整机）提供货源，同时还要做好各快（配件）供货渠道之间的协调工作。 outsource to… 从外部向…提供资源 The semiconductors（半导体） A semiconductor is a crystalline material (usually silcon) with electrical properties lying between conductor,such as aluminum and copper,and insulators,such as rubber and glass.Silicon crystallizes in a diamond-shaped lattice,with each atom surrounded by four other atoms in a tetrahedron.The atoms share val
