The metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor is the fundamental element of digital electronics. The tens of millions of transistors in a typical home -- in personal computers, automobiles, appliances, and toys -- are almost all derive from MOS transistors. To the Digital Age examines for the first time the history of this remarkable device, which overthrew the previously dominant bipolar transistor and made digital electronics ubiquitous. Combining technological with corporate history, To the Digital Age examines the breakthroughs of individual innovators as well as the research and development power (and problems) of large companies such as IBM, Intel, and Fairchild. Bassett discusses how...
The first years of the company that developed the microchip and created the model for a successful Silicon Valley start-up. In the first three and a half years of its existence, Fairchild Semiconductor developed, produced, and marketed the device that would become the fundamental building block of the digital world: the microchip. Founded in 1957 by eight former employees of the Schockley Semiconductor Laboratory, Fairchild created the model for a successful Silicon Valley start-up: intense activity with a common goal, close collaboration, and a quick path to the market (Fairchild's first device hit the market just ten months after the company's founding). Fairchild Semiconductor was one of ...
I have great pleasure in presenting the Proceedings of the 10th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference held in Lisbon from 8 to 12 April 1991. These Proceedings contain all the scientific papers delivered at the Conference. The following is a short summary of the Conference activities. The Conference was opened by the Minister of Industry and Energy of Portugal, Eng. Luis Mira do Amaral. At the opening ceremony the Becquerel Prize, created by the Commission of the European Communities, was awarded to Professor Werner Bloss of the University of Stuttgart, and presented by Professor Philippe Bourdeau, Director at the Directorate-General for Science, Research and Development. The Becquer...
This book provides a unique account of the history of integrated circuit, the microelectronics industry and the people involved in the development of transistor and integrated circuit. In this richly illustrated account the author argues that the group of inventors was much larger than originally thought. This is a personal recollection providing the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes account of the history of the integrated circuit.

Anglo-American Microelectronics Data 1968-69, Volume One Manufacturers A-P covers semiconductor integrated circuits, thick and thin film technologies, and constructions outside the semiconductor integrated circuit area which come within the microelectronics range. The book discusses A.B. metal products thick film microcircuits; AMELCO series 16-701/46-701 tentative transistor-transistor logic; and American Micro-Systems B002e low-power logic binary. The book also describes Bunker-Ramo hybrid thin-film techniques; Centralab thick film integrated circuits; and CTS Cermet microelectronics. Elliott-automation; Erie R-C and hybrid integrated circuits; and Ether engineering series 2020 operational amplifiers are also considered. Other topics include Fair Child resistor-transistor micrologic; Hawker Siddeley micropacks; and Plessey SL20 series amplifiers. Designers, buyers, and users of microelectronic devices will find the text useful.
