Source: Xingneng Assets Editor | Eva In 1987, Tsugio Makimoto, the former chief engineer of Hitachi, proposed that semiconductor products might advance along a path of alternating “standardization” and “customization,” oscillating every ten years. He published this idea in Electronics Weekly in 1991, referring to it as “Makimoto’s Wave.” In recent years, the rapid development … Read more
