Robert Noyce

 Robert  Noyce (December 12, 1927 – June 3, 1990) the co-founder of Intel coorporation (1968) and Fairchild Semiconductor (1957)  is remembered by the name “The mayor of Silicon Valley” . He was borned today (December 12).He along with Jack Kilby are credited with the invention of the integrated circuit(microchip) which brought a great revolution in personal computers.He is the person because of which Silicon Valley is reknowned in the world.

He was the third of four sons of Rev. Ralph Brewster Noyce . He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in physics and mathematics from Grinnell College in 1949. He received his doctorate in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1953. Noyce and Gordon E. Moore founded Intel in 1968 when they left Fairchild Semiconductor.

We are very delighted in getting such a legendary in support of mankind. In his last interview, Noyce was asked what he would do if he were "emperor" of the United States. He said that he would, among other things, "make sure we are preparing our next generation to flourish in a high-tech age. And that means education of the lowest and the poorest, as well as at the graduate school level.”

Noyce, the leader of evolution of technology  was-is-&-will be remembered by all of us.

Robert Noyce reviews the development of the integrated circuit from its infancy in the 1950s to the early-1980s as well as its impact on technology and society. Noyce discusses the innovations in transistors that lead to the creation of the integrated circuit. Next, Robert Noyce talks about the technical challenges of building increasingly more compact and more powerful semiconductors as well as the overall effects of Moore's Law. Finally, Noyce looks ahead to the future of semiconductor development that was uncertain at the time of this lecture, but is now in our past.
