... As a result of the committee's analysis, these six technologies were found to be critically important: material behavior; simulation and modeling; sensors; process control; process precision and metrology; and equipment design. Each of these technologies is discussed in a separate chapter that summarizes the current general research status and recommends research opportunities that would be key elements in securing the long-term competitiveness of U.S.
