9!I!I!'EditorialBy Milton S. Snitzer, EditorTHE TRANSISTOR -AFTER 25 YEARSA little over 25 years ago, three scientists at the Bell Laboratories inventeddevice that would revolutionize the world of electronics. These three areJohn Bardeen, Walter H. Brattain, and William Shockley. Later, in 1956, theywere named Nobel laureates in physics for the invention of the transistor.A recent issue of the "Bell Laboratories Record" recalled and celebrated theevent by asking the three to give their recollections of the transistor's inventionand to assess its impact on science, technology, and society. Some of whatthey had to say is worth a larger audience.Bardeen wrote about all the technical breakthroughs that have followed fromthe invention-single crystals, zone refining, diffusion, oxide masking, planartechnology, integrated circuits of greater and greater complexity, semiconductorrectifiers that have revolutionized the electric power industry, light emittingdiodes and lasers, microwave oscillators and charge -transfer devices. Thoughbased on some previously observed facts, he continued that there had to be aclose interaction between theory and experiment: "At each stage we tried tohave at least a qualitative understanding of what was going on."Brattain also credited basic research and experimentation in order to try tounderstand what was really going on. He then wrote "The technological use thatsociety makes of the understanding that science gives is not always what thescientist would recommend or condone. feel strongly, however, that the scientisthas no right to dictate how his understanding is used. He does have the right toadvise and to act as any other citizen when it comes to deciding what societyshould do, and all citizens are equally responsible for what is done." He goes onto state: "The use of the transistor of which am proudest is the smallbattery -operated radio. This has made it possible for even the most underprivilegedpeoples to. listenThe thing I deplore most is the use of solid-stateelectronics by rock and roll musicians to raise the level of sound to where itis both painful and injurious."William Shockley recalled that exploiting the transistor's potential causedmany headaches. He continued: "A colleague branded it a 'persistor', becausepersistence was what it took to make it-several years and improved experimentalfacilities were needed before really good ones were fabricated. But three yearslater, the first microwatt junction transistors were what really inaugurated theaII.transistor era."Bell Labs' most important policy was not to keep the new transistor informationsecret. The semiconductor industry's almost overnight growth was due in largemeasure to the relatively open information exchanges. Continuing research anddevelopment are still underway today. Charge -coupled semiconductor devices arebeing fabricated which will lead to solid-state flat TV pickup and picture tubes; newtypes of MOS (metal oxide semiconductors) are being worked on to improveswitching techniques; new devices are being researched for use in the microwavefrequencies and beyond. In short, the last 25 years of transistor history have beenremarkable but we expect that the next 25 years will be even more so.aPOPULAR ELECTRONICS Including Electronics World
