520			_aPreface to the Second Edition SOMETIME AROUND the end of 1985. NEC Corporation emerged as the world's largest producer of semiconductors. The leading Japanese microelectronics device maker moved up from the No. 3 position worldwide to the top rank, surpassing American firms that have held the lead since the early days of the semiconductor era. And not far behind. close on the heels of second and third ranking Motorola and Texas In-struments, were Hitachi and Toshiba. Three of the five largest semicon. ductor makers in the world are, at this juncture, Japanese, and these three are distinguished by their high level of integration of electronics produe tion and the thrust of their research and development effort. Indeed, this new configuration of the global microelectronics in dustry was to be further manifest at the 1986 international microelec tronics devices conference in Los Angeles, where two Japanese firms were scheduled to introduce 4-megabit dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices already test-manufactured using improved methods of cutting sub-micron geometries in silicon wafers. The race for the next generation of ulra-large scale integrated (ULSI) circuit markets is on and Japanese makers have grasped the technological lead. If, as the indicators suggest, this transformation is permanent, or as permanent as anything can be in such a rapidly changing industry, it must be numbered among the most important industrial events of the past twenty-five years. It is the first time a non-Atlantic firm has taken the lead in a major high technology industry. It marks a further critical stage, following that of consumer products, in the epochal shift of the world electronics industry's epicenter to East Asia. And it sets the stage for yet another round of protectionism in the United States that could have far-reaching deleterious effects upon those sectors of high technology production that still enjoy a leading worldwide position. Should this happen, prospects are that production of computers and other advanced electronic equipment will follow the pattern of consumer electronics, moving to offshore locations where the supply of lower cost components can be assured. This prospect makes it all the more important that the factors shap-ing the continuing Japanese electronics revolution be understood. The first edition of this book was admittedly a first and incomplete attempt to put the critical factors together in a single volume. It is, so far, the one at-tempt we have. And for this reason, it is even more timely, even more
