I. The 64-kbit RAM: A prelude to VLSI
Richard N. Gossen · IEEE Spectrum · 1979
The 64-kbit dynamic random-access memory may signal the end of the MOS transistor era. Established process technology and manufacturing techniques will no longer do; the new RAM demands a quantum jump beyond them. It is a prelude to very large-scale integration (VLSI), or the placing of more than 100 000 logic gates on a single chip.
