3. Walter? Walter Houser Brattain
< br \/ >
He was born on February 10, 1902 in Xiamen, China. American physicist, member of the American Academy of Sciences. The winner of the Barentin Medal, John F. Kennedy Scott Medal. Bratton has a long career in semiconductor physics, discovering the photoelectric effect on the free surface of semiconductors.

4. Jack? Jack Kilby
< br \/ >
Born in Jefferson City, Missouri, USA in 1923. On September 12, 1958, Kilby's invention of the microchip was successfully demonstrated, which was the world's first integrated circuit.

5. Robert? Robert Noyce
< br \/ >
In December 1927, Robert? Noyce was born in Iowa. He and his partner founded Fairchild Semiconductor, where he served as general manager. Shockley called them \"the rebels of eight geniuses.\" In August 1968, Noyce and Gordon founded the famous Intel Corporation, with Noyce as its general manager. In 1970, Intel launched the world's first DRAM (dynamic random access memory) integrated circuit 1103, achieving a good start. In 1971, the world's first microprocessor, the 4004, was introduced, opening the prelude to microprocessor-based microcomputers. Since then, Intel has become the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer with the advantage of technological innovation.

6. Gordon? Gordon Moore
< br \/ >
Born on January 3, 1929 in Pescadino, San Francisco, American scientist and entrepreneur, in 1965, Moore proposed \"Moore's Law\". In 1968, Moore and Noyce quit Fairchild and founded Intel. His laws not only brought Intel to the top of the industry, but also guided the development of the IT industry for many years.

7. Joan? Jean Hoerni
< br \/ >
Born in Switzerland in 1924, he was one of the \"Eight rebels\". In 1959, he invented a process for planar processing called optical etching. Horney created a light mask, which resembles a negative with a cluster of small holes, to filter out the unclean stuff and then let it flip in the light. After chemical washing, as long as the photoresist is left on the metal plate, impurities will not be scattered below, in order to solve the reliability problem of flat transistors, so that semiconductor production has revolutionized, called \"one of the most significant achievements of the 20th century\

8. Frank M. Winals

He received a doctorate from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, USA, and at the 1963 solid-state Circuit Conference, he submitted a report on the CMOS concept co-authored with Sah, and also used some experimental data to roughly explain CMOS technology, while the main characteristics of CMOS are basically determined: \"static power supply low power density; The working power supply has a high power density and can form a high-density field-effect vacuum triode logic circuit.\" In short, the biggest feature of CMOS is low power consumption. Today, more than 95% of integrated circuit chips are based on CMOS processes.

Born in 1931 in Zhejiang Province. At the age of 27, as a master's student from MIT, he entered the semiconductor industry at the same time as the pioneer of semiconductors and Intel founder Moore, and integrated circuit inventor Jack? Kilby also joined Texas Instruments. In 1972, he successively served as vice president and senior vice president of Texas Instruments, becoming the first Chinese to enter the top management of a large American company. In 1987, it established the world's first professional foundry company - Taiwan Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., LTD. (TSMC). For his outstanding contributions to the semiconductor industry, he has been recognized by the American media as one of the most contributing people in the 50-year history of the semiconductor industry and one of the best managers in the world. The Taiwanese respect him as the \"godfather of semiconductors\

10. John Deng
< br \/ >
Founder and chairman of Zhongxing Micro Group, commander of \"Xingguang China Core Project\". University of California, Berkeley, PhD in Electrical Engineering, Master of Economics and Management, Master of Physics. He is the first scholar in science, engineering and business in the school's 130-year history. In 1997, Deng joined IBM as a senior researcher, responsible for the research of VLSI design, and applied for a number of invention patents, and won the \"IBM Invention and Creation Award\". A year later, Deng left IBM and returned to Silicon Valley, where he combined with Silicon Valley's famous venture capital fund to found PIXIM, INC., an integrated circuit company that soon reached a market value of $150 million. After the initiative of the Ministry of Information Industry, Deng Zhonghan decided to set up a Chinese local chip design company in China. In October 1999, \"Zhongxing Microelectronics Co., LTD.\" was registered in Zhongguancun. On March 11, 2001, Zhongxing Micro \"Starlight 1\" was successfully developed. This is China's first digital multimedia chip with independent intellectual property rights, million-gate level super-scale, and at the same time ended the history of \"China's Silicon Valley\" Zhongguancun silicon-free. In May 2001, \"Starlight One\" was industrialized.
In the course of the development of integrated circuits, there are many people who have made outstanding contributions. While humans enjoy the earth-shaking changes brought by integrated circuit technology to our lives and production, please do not forget those who have played a key role and made outstanding contributions in the development process of integrated circuits. Here we select the 10 most famous figures in the history of integrated circuits 1, Shockley 2, Bardeen 3, Bratton 4, Jack Kilby 5, Robert Noyce 6, Joan Herney 7, Gordon Moore 8, Andy Grove 9, Hu Chengming 10, and Chang
