 Manager\n\nJim Mikkelson is one of the most distinguished Semiconductor pi
 oneers on Silicon Mountain. He was a co-founder and Chief Technical Office
 r of Vitesse Semiconductor\, a Colorado Springs GaAs integrated circuit ma
 nufacturer. This life history presentation will take you back to Jim&#39;s 197
 8 project to develop an advanced 1 micron NMOS process for HP Fort Collins
  who was the largest manufacturer of NMOS products at the time. Please und
 erstand that this required simultaneous development of lithography\, depos
 ition\, etching\, and metallization along with associated advancements in 
 design tools to build the first 1 micron 32-bit Microprocessor. Please und
 erstand that Microprocessors in 1978 were 5 micron 8-bit processors going 
 into things like the Apple 2. The resulting HP 9000 Model 520 released in 
 1982 was the most powerful desktop computer available (2-years before the 
 IBM PC) and was widely deployed throughout the US Navy for tactical decisi
 on support. Setting the stage for HP&#39;s continued leadership in computing.\
