美国贝尔实验室是世界著名的电子科研机构。六十年来,该室的科研人员曾经有许多项重大技术发明,其中包括揭开信息时代序幕的晶体三极管(1947),制造超大规模集成电路的硅栅工艺技术(1966)。到1983年8月,该所已经获得两万项专利,在推动科学技术的进步,促进人类社会向信息社会的演变上做出突出的贡献。由该室三位知名的科研工作者撰写的此文,介绍同信息时代密切相关的三项尖端技术(微电子技术、光子技术、软件)的历史、现状与未来,可供读者从技术的侧面了解信息社会发展的来龙去脉。
Bell Labs is the world’s leading electronic research institution. For six decades, researchers in this room once had a number of major technological inventions, including a transistor that opened the prelude to the information age (1947) and a silicon gate process technology for manufacturing VLSI (1966). By August 1983, the Institute had already obtained 20,000 patents, and it had made outstanding contributions to the advancement of science and technology and the promotion of human society to the evolution of the information society. This article was written by three well-known researchers in the room and introduced the history, current status, and future of three cutting-edge technologies (microelectronics, photonics, and software) that are closely related to the information age. Understand the ins and outs of the information society.
