Meeting with:

  1. Luc-Olivier Bauer and Marshall Wilder authors of the book "The Microchip Revolution: A brief history".

The Book is available online and we encourage you to read. The book was dedicated to the memory of Dr.Jean Amédée Hoerni (1924-1997), a Swiss Geneva born Scientist  expatriated first to Cambridge, then Caltech, hired by Bill Shockley at his Mountain View Labs, who become the only non American partner of the "traitorous eight engineers" founders in 1957 of Fairchild Semiconductors in Palo Alto. He filed the fundamental patent on the Planar Process there in 1959. And subsequently together with Bob Noyce the patent on silicon integrated circuits. Also known as silicon chips microchips. The rest is history, e.g.!

  1. Bruno Murari of ST-Microelectronics
