Abstract: Abstract Vera had been very smart in building her business at MCNC. In the 1980s, North Carolina invested over $100 million in MCNC to build a state-of-the-art semiconductor design and manufacturing facility. At its inception, the facility had the capacity to design and fabricate the most advanced semiconductor chips in the world—it was a technological wonder that exceeded the capabilities of industry leaders like Intel and Texas Instruments. MCNC was the first organization in the world—or close to it—to design and fabricate a 1 cm × 1 cm (10 mm × 10 mm) electronic chip with one million transistors!
