Honoring the Legacy of Chip Design Innovator Lynn Conway

@Joanna Goodrich in IEEE Spectrum

Conway helped develop very-large-scale integration: the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. VLSI chips are at the core of electronic devices used today. The technology provides processing power, memory, and other functionalities to smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, televisions, and household appliances.
