On this day in 1924 physicist and silicon transistor pioneer Jean Hoerni was born. Hoerni developed the groundbreaking planar process for manufacturing semiconductor devices. Combined with Robert Noyce’s technique for placing a layer of silicon dioxide on a transistor, this resulted in the creation of the modern integrated circuit.
The creation of modern integrated circuits was a truly remarkable discovery and of course the idea of this originated in 1924.
The article is very interesting, thank you.
