Abstract
Aims: The Information Economy development is inseparably connected with the creation of material base on the grounds of micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery in the world leading countries. However, each country elaborates its own the most prospective micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery. The main aim of the research at analyzing the prospects of creating information technology material base in Ukraine on the grounds of micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery utilizing NBIC-technologies. The is to find out, which technologies could be the foundation for Ukrainian innovation development in near future under conditions of new Nano-bio-info-cognitive (NBIC) technological revolution.
Study Design: The reviews were carried out in the period 2008–12 on the basis of studying the world countries micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery development trends as well as on the basis of the research results obtained by Ukrainian academic institutions.
Place and Duration of Study: Scientific research center for industrial development problems of the National academy of sciences of Ukraine, Department of Foreign Economic Relations and Touristic Business between January 2015 and April 2015.
Methodology: Content analysis has been used as the main method of research, which allowed making a meaningful analysis of classic papers and researches of modern economists-practitioners devoted to the peculiarities of the modern prospects of creating information technology material base in the World and Ukraine with using of NBIC-technologies.
Results: Convergence and integration of nano-bio-info-cogno-technologies considerably increase capabilities of micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery. The article analyses the prospects of creating material grounds for information economics in world countries and in Ukraine on the basis of micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery utilizing NBIC-technologies. The article demonstrates that in the result of implementing comprehensive scientific-technical programs to develop micro-electronic technologies and sensor enginery during 2008 – 2012 in Ukraine new radiation detectors and sensors were designed, technologies to produce nano-ceramics were developed together with high-quality sapphire substrates, or photodetectors and infra-red emitters, or uncooled multi-element sensitive receivers, or science-intensive modern semi-conducting materials and sensor appliances on their basis. Prospects for implementing bio-sensor systems for monitoring purposes in environmental protection, medicine, pharmaceutics, food-processing in Ukraine were also demonstrated together with new materials and drugs generation for medicine and pharmaceutical industry.
Conclusion: We may conclude that in order to set up information economy material base, during 2008-2012 Ukraine undertook efforts to develop and implement the following modern microelectronic technologies.
