• Analog and digital electronics, including antennas
• Nonvolatile memories (NAND/NOR Flash) and caches
• Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and other displays
• Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
• Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and CPLDs
• Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)
• System-on-a-Chip (Soc) and multi-chip modules (MCM)
• Wafer manufacturing processes and IC packaging
• Microprocessor/microcontroller/CPU design
