Discusses the history, creation, mission, and scope of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC). JSSC has documented the rapid advances and growth of the solid-state circuit field right from the start. The article by Don Pederson [2] reported on the 1966 origins of this journal and its evolution up to 1984. This article briefly recapitulates some of the early history and presents an account of the journal's progress since 1984. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

From the beginnings of the semiconductor era in the 1950s, and through its first three decades, semiconductor producers were vertically integrated, including both product design and manufacturing. This was natural because everything was new. Materials, devices, manufacturing processes, and design methods were not standardized across the industry. All were evolving rapidly but had to be closely integrated at each point in time to produce useful products. The necessary coordination occurred successfully during these years only within the boundaries of single enterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
