From page 7...
... One of the significant problems in solid state electronics research is the rapidly increasing cost of equipment and facilities. Two decades ago research could be done in normal laboratory space with lowcost homemade equipment.

From page 8...
... Hence, it will be feasible to use computers in a realistic process control mode with very complex, sophisticated equipment for device growth and processing. The production of new, very complex heteroepitaxial devices will require exceedingly precise control over materials preparation and fabrication.

From page 9...
... Hence, we think that the ONR should have a major research program to understand and control the fundamental characteristics of electronic materials that affect device performance. This can be accomplished by focusing more effort on the device behavior of novel structures.
