I. Reading Exercises:
Exercise 1. Read and memorize using a dictionary:
tier, wafer, maxim, commitment, challenge, fast-paced industry, meet the stringent requirements, leading-edge process technologies, state-of-the-art fabrication plants, high-volume, cost-efficient manufacturing, TI facilities worldwide, shipment to our customers, tightly coupled silicon. |
Exercise 2. Answer the questions:
What are the major components of the semiconductor industry?
Who was an inventor of the integrated circuit?
What can they do with transistors?
Where do their best ideas become high-volume, cost-efficient manufacturing?
Exercise 3. Match the left part with the right:
1. Never has that maxim been |
a) where our best R&D ideas become high- volume, cost-efficient manufacturing. |
2. We believe that in-house semiconductor R&D provides |
b) millions of the best IC products available emerge ready for shipment to our customers. |
3. Our own state-of-the-art fabrication plants are |
c) our customers with a competitive advantage. |
4. Every day, around the clock, from TI facilities worldwide |
d) more true than today. |
Exercise 4. Open brackets choosing the right words:
We (become aware/realize) that (unveiling/uncovering) new process advancements is only half the (work/job)-any new technique or material must (meet/satisfy) the stringent (requirements/demands) of the market.
II. Speaking Exercises:
Exercise 1. Describe silicon; process; facilities; wafer; transistor; technology; state-of-the-art using the suggested words and expressions as in example:
silicon a tetravalent; nonmetallic element; the most abundant element; in; the earth`s crust; used; as a semiconductor; in; transistors. example: The silicon is a tetravalent nonmetallic element, the most abundant element in the earth`s crust, used as a semiconductor in transistors. |
process a particular course; of; action; intended; to achieve; a result. |
|
facilities a building; or; place; that; provides; a particular service; or; is used; for; a particular industry. |
wafer a; small; adhesive disc; of; paste; used to seal letters. |
transistor a semiconductor device; capable; of; amplification. |
technology the practical application; of; science; to; commerce; or; industry. |
state-of-the-art the highest level; of; development; at; a particular time. |
