child of 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 obtained a degree with Physics as his major. He was a born organizer, exhibiting extraordinary self-belief in everything he did. Grant Gale,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Noyce’s Physics professor in college, obtained two #of the# first transistors produced by Bell Labs. Gale showed the transistors to his class and Noyce became instantaneously fascinated with them. This event did ultimately lead #to the# making #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 acquired it in 1953. Following this he got involved with the advancement #of the# Germanium transistor during his stint at Philco Corporation as #a research# engineer. Noyce did finally leave Philco and joined Shockley Transistor Company to work #in their# semiconductor laboratory in 1956. This company was founded by William Shockley, a co-inventor #of the# transistor. It had been in this company that Noyce started research on transistors using silicon.
However, Shockley and Noyce were not meant #to be# together for very long since their scientific ideas and personalities collided. Depressed #with the# company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Noyce and 7 of his fellow researchers left in 1957 to create their very own company, Fairchild Semiconductor. #Being the# director for research and development of their newly established company, Noyce focused on methods to develop the compound circuit interconnections required for advanced electronic devices. In 1959,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was able to merge all the components in a single small block of silicon consequently producing his own version #of the# integrated circuit. He consequently filed #for a# patent later on that year but a lengthy legal battle with Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments soon followed. Kilby was the first to invent an integrated circuit; however, it had been Noyce who ultimately got the patent in 1969.
During #that time#, the electronics industry was youthful #and the# invention of integrated circuits revolutionized the business. Fairchild Semiconductor manufactured more integrated circuits than any other company. As Noyce had once done with Shockley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he left Fairchild in 1968 and took 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 largest manufacturer of microchips #in the# world. It still is today.
#In the# later #part of# 1970s, Noyce initiated a few moves to support the electronics industry. He was #at the# head of establishing organizations like Sematech - #a group# of 14 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 forever be etched #on the# face of microchips, not just in Silicon Valley but all #over the# globe. A noteworthy man.
