The reasons vary, but some common elements include the globalization of research and the growth of economies. The United States can be expected to continue supporting materials science, and new topics involving nano structure materials and intelligent materials are among several exciting emerging areas of study.

A global forecast for 2012 for technologydriven research directions in this industry for the United States is provided in the National Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (SLA, 1997~. Some of the expected matenals and process-related research includes silicon-germanium devices, new gate dielectric and gate electrode materials to replace SiO2, copper interconnection to replace aluminum, new lowdielectric constant materials for interIayer dielectncs, diffusion battier materials and processing approaches for copper interconnection, and the replacement of polysilicon gates with highconductivity gates having low or no depletion.
