Making Silicon Valley : innovation and the growth of high tech, 1930-1970
TL;DR: Christophe Lecuyer as discussed by the authors explores the formation of Silicon Valley as an industrial district, from its beginnings as a few radio enterprises that operated in the shadow of RCA and other East Coast firms through its establishment as a center of the electronics industry and a leading producer of power grid tubes, microwave tubes, and semiconductors.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do Universities Really owe Industry? The Case of Solid State Electronics at Stanford
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that, in the United States, the Department of Defense dictated the intellectual contours of academic science and engineering during the Cold War, but in important ways, American science was also deeply influenced by industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Materiality of Microelectronics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors advocate material-centered accounts in the history of technology, and present such an analysis for the early history of microelectronics, arguing that material-centric accounts were central to the emergence of solid state electronics and the dynamics of early semiconductor industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
From nuclear physics to semiconductor manufacturing: the making of ion implantation
TL;DR: In this article, the emergence of ion implantation as a major semiconductor manufacturing process from the early 1960s through the late 1970s is examined, and the key finding that ion implantations enabled the control of critical transistor characteristics, were both exploited by Mostek, a semiconductor start-up funded by Sprague.
