Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore are inextricably linked to the three most important commercial semiconductor companies in the history of semiconductors. First William Shockley brought Noyce and Moore together at his Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Palo Alto, California to develop silicon transistors. Although the company failed to develop commercially successful products, the team that William…

No company was better equipped and better positioned to capitalize on the development of the first MOSFET than Fairchild Semiconductor. Founded in 1957 to work on silicon transistors, Jean Hoerni developed the planar process and Robert Noyce developed the ideas for the first practical integrated circuit (IC) based on Hoerni’s planar process just months before…

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore passed away at age 94 this week. Here's why he's one of the most important figures in the history of semiconductors.

Tech companies have long tried to put a human face on their latest innovations, with varying degrees of success, writes Elizabeth A. Kessler

The suspension of hostilities in the Russian military operation in Ukraine due to winter may last up to six months, according to The New York Times.

We take an in-depth look at the technology this magazine is named after: silicon chips, also known as integrated circuits or ICs. They are critical to most modern technology, and it has taken decades to get these devices to the pinnacle of performance they have achieved. But the technology has not stopped advancing yet! by Dr David Maddison

Since their invention nearly 75 years ago, transistors have reshaped the world. This series of articles will cover the most interesting bits of their history and describe how manufacturing methods have changed over time. by Ian Batty

No more hoping your coworker sees the fact that proves you right; you know they’ll see it

Jay Last, a founder of Fairchild Semiconductor who has died at age 92, developed ways to manufacture integrated circuits in bulk

Three factors will fuel the turnover: redistricting, term limits and whether Democrats can keep the House.
