Yize kungavamisile ukuthi kuvame kakhulu emakethe enkulu, iqiniso ukuthi kunezinto eziningi ezenzekayo ezifuna ukuklama nokwenza chips nezimo okwazi ukwenza okuningi futhi, lokhu kukhuphuka kwamandla abo, kudlula ngokubanikeza inkumbulo enkulu kakhulu. Ngokusobala futhi njengoba kwaziswe ngokusemthethweni, lokhu kungaba yinto yangempela ngenxa yomsebenzi owenziwe ngokuhlanganyela yi- I-Laboratory yase-United States Yezempi Yezempi nenkampani I-American Semiconductor.
Ukungena emininingwaneni ethe xaxa futhi kubhekiswe esitatimendeni esisemthethweni esishicilelwe, ngokusobala kule phrojekthi kungenzeka ukuthi kudizayinwe futhi kwenziwe uhlobo oluguquguqukayo lwe-chip olungaba kufika ezikhumbuzweni eziphindwe izikhathi ezingama-7.000 kune-IC eziguquguqukayo emakethe namuhla. Lokhu kuhumusha kube ngamandla aphakeme kakhulu ngoba ingaqoqa imininingwane eminingi ngokwazi ukusebenzisa izinzwa ezinamandla kakhulu.
Le phrojekthi ikhombisa ukuthi ama-chips aguquguqukayo angenziwa angabekwa kuzo zonke lezo zinto, ngenxa yokwakheka nokuma kwazo, ezazingenakwenzeka kuze kube manje.
Njengoba kuphawulwe yi Udokotela uDan Berrigan, umcwaningi osebenza njengamanje egatsheni lezinto zokwakha kanye nelokukhiqiza ngaphakathi kwe-United States Air Force Research Laboratory:
Ama-silicon IC ajwayelekile aqinile, izingxenye ezintekenteke ezihlanganiselwe ukuvikelwa. Lapho sizama ukubanikeza isimo esiguquguqukayo, ukuqina kwabo kusivimbela ekwenzeni kanjalo. Ukusebenza ne-American Semiconductor, sithathe lawa machipisi ahlanganiswe nge-silicon saphinde sawaxuba aze aguquguquke futhi sazi ukuthi agcina konke ukusebenza kwesekethe. Manje sesingabeka ama-microcontroller, ama-computer amancane, ezindaweni ezingafinyeleleki kuze kube manje.
