French term or phrase: axes
Priorités en assemblage

La technologie évolue selon des axes qui sont divergents au niveau de la puissance, la densité et la composition des matériaux. Un milliard de transistor sur la puce la plus petite possible, voilà tout le défi. Les matériaux doivent être plus minces mais plus résistants, la puissance est augmentée de façon exponentielle et la chaleur dans être dissipée en utilisant le moins d’espace possible. Alors il ne fait nul doute que l’intégration, la miniaturisation, les structure 3D, la connectivité, les méthodes de test et de vieillissement accéléré, les propriétés des matériaux, les nanotechnologies, les bandes passantes grandissantes constituent autant d’items ayant un impact technologique majeur sur les techniques d’assemblage

disagree  B D Finch: Literal, but how would you fit this into the context? One generally refers to development in divergent directions or lines, but "axes"? I think not.
