Robert Norton Noyce (December 12, 1927 – June 3, 1990), nicknamed "the Mayor of Silicon Valley", was an American physicist and entrepreneur who co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel Corporation in 1968.

Dec 8, 2024 · Robert Noyce (born December 12, 1927, Burlington, Iowa, U.S.—died June 3, 1990, Austin, Texas) was an American engineer and co-inventor of the integrated circuit, a system of interconnected transistors on a single silicon microchip.

The first monolithic IC chip was invented by Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor. [2] [3] He invented a way to connect the IC components (aluminium metallization) and proposed an improved version of insulation based on the planar process technology developed by Jean Hoerni.

Apr 16, 2024 · Robert Noyce was an American scientist, businessman, and engineer. He helped to create the world’s first microchip, the Monolithic Integrated Circuit, and then used his business expertise to found two massively influential technology companies: Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel Corporation.

Challenged by patent attorney John Ralls to identify other uses for Hoerni's planar process (1959 Milestone), Fairchild co-founder Robert Noyce conceived the idea for a monolithic integrated circuit (IC).

Nov 19, 2023 · Let me walk you through the remarkable life story and achievements of Robert Noyce, one of the most influential figures in the computing world. Born in 1927 in the small town of Burlington, Iowa, Noyce developed a passion for science and math at an early age.

On April 25, 1961, Fairchild Semiconductor co-founder Robert Noyce was issued patent No. 2981877 for his “semiconductor device-and-lead structure,” which would come to be known as the integrated circuit.

Meet Intel’s co-founder and the integrated circuit’s co-inventor, Robert Noyce, the entrepreneur and industry leader who left an indelible mark.

Jun 3, 1990 · NIHF Inductee Robert Noyce, cofounder of Intel Corporation, was one of the pioneers of semiconductor development and inventor of the integrated circuit.

Robert Noyce (2016) is the true father of the IC and Silicon Valley, the original model for start-ups and serial entrepreneurs, as well as the first statesman for the semiconductor industry.
