    Institute of Technology in 1954. This led to him becoming the cofounder of Intel Corporation, in 1968 with his buddy Robert Noyce. Robert and Gordon created Intel Corporation after a rough couple of years they had with other projects like Fairchild Semiconductor. The corporation produces microprocessors, and is a leader in the microprocessor industry, today. Moore’s current $7.3 billion net worth makes him one of the richest men in the world and unlike some rich people, he engages in philanthropy

    Electron Microscopy (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Visible Spectroscopy) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) became more available for researchers to approach the nano world. Device efficiency with reduction of particle size in semiconductor industry is also a significant factor for the development of nanotechnology. The field of nanotechnology explores the materials and their properties [28 -35 2-8], nanoscale of synthesized material when at least one dimension of the nanostructure

    Task 1 Explain how a capacitor is constructed? You can imagine a capacitor being a sandwich, two metal plate (electric) that sandwich the dielectric acting as an insulator keeping the two metal plates from touching each other. The dielectric can be made from many different materials like silicon, silicon nitride, aluminium oxide and zirconium oxide to name a few, they all have different values and properties. Which is used depends on the purpose of the capacitor and type of capacitor. The electric

    start, and how did they become so prevalent? To answer this, the workings of transistors must first be explained. Transistors consist of 3 layers of a semiconductor. Before the late 1950s this semiconductor was Germanium. Later used was Silicon. Other materials are also used, but considerably less commonly. There are 2 versions of the semiconductor that are made. One type has electrons added, N type. Another type has electrons removed, P type (Jimbo). In the basic transistor, a layer of N type silicon

    entrepreneurial that reigned in Fairchild, the spin-off began to have success and encouraged e inspired to others employees to create their companies. The 8 founders of Fairchild contributed to finance many of these spin-offs of their own employees. For example, one of the founders financed one of their employees for create another company that is would call AMD; the first investor in Apple was a former employee of Fairchild, etc. In only 12 years, the employees and founders of Fairchild had generated more than

    crystal, or add impurities to other parts as necessary. The first of these transistors, developed at Bell, left a little protrusion sticking out of the middle, and so they were named "mesa" transistors after the Spanish word for table. Later, Fairchild Semiconductor developed a version which was entirely flat -- these were called "planar"
