Jordan 13 Who was Robert Noyce Which Is The Reason |
|
child to a congregational minister, Robert was given birth to #on the# 12th of December 1927 in Burlington, Iowa and used up his childhood days in Grinell of the same State. He attended Grinell College and earned a degree with Physics as his major. He was a born organizer, showing extraordinary self-confidence in everything he did. Grant Gale, Noyce’s Physics professor in college, attained two #of the# original transistors created by Bell Labs. Gale showed the transistors to his class and Noyce became instantaneously interested in them. This occurrence did eventually lead #to the# creation #of the# silicon chip or what we now name the microchip.
Noyce entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1948 #for a# Ph.D. and earned it in 1953. Following this he got caught up with the development #of the# Germanium transistor throughout his stint at Philco Corporation as #a research# engineer. Noyce would eventually leave Philco and joined Shockley Transistor Company to work #in their# semiconductor laboratory in 1956. This company was founded by William Shockley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a co-inventor #of the# transistor. It had been in this company that Noyce commenced research on transistors using silicon.
Conversely, Shockley and Noyce were not meant #to be# together for long as their scientific ideas and personalities collided. Depressed #with the# company, Noyce and seven of his fellow researchers left in 1957 to form their own company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fairchild Semiconductor. #Being the# director for research and development of their newly established company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Noyce focused on techniques to develop the compound circuit interconnections required for advanced electronic devices. In 1959, he was able to merge all of the components in one small block of silicon thus producing his own version #of the# integrated circuit. He consequently filed #for a# patent later that year but a lengthy legal battle with Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments soon followed. Kilby was the first to create an integrated circuit; however, it had been Noyce who ultimately got the patent in 1969.
Within #that time#, the electronics business was youthful #and the# invention of integrated circuits revolutionized the business. Fairchild Semiconductor manufactured more integrated circuits than any company. As Noyce had once done with Shockley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he left Fairchild in 1968 and brought along Gordon Moore and Andrew Grove to create Intel Corporation. They concentrated their efforts in developing and producing silicon chips and microprocessors. Intel ultimately became the most important manufacturer of microchips #in the# world. It still is today.
#In the# later #part of# 1970s, Noyce initiated a number of moves to uphold the electronics industry. He was #at the# head of establishing organizations such as Sematech - #a group# of fourteen semiconductor corporations #with the# goal of reinforcing the electronics industry to face foreign rivals. Robert Noyce died #of a# heart attack #at the# #age of# 62 in Austin, Texas. But his legacy will for all eternally be etched #on the# face of microchips, not just in Silicon Valley but all #over the# world. A noteworthy man.
