From the FET’s Inception to the Horizons Ahead

The Field-Effect Transistor (FET), a cornerstone of modern electronics, marks its centennial in 2025, tracing back to Julius Edgar Lilienfeld’s groundbreaking invention in 1925. Born in 1882 in what is now Lviv, Ukraine, Lilienfeld was a prolific physicist who earned his PhD from Berlin University in 1905. His early … Read More

Back in 1983 I was working for Texas Instruments during the beginning of the push to let common electrical engineers develop their own CMOS application specific ICs (ASICs). This would eventually the be the fuel that fed the semiconductor engine to reach over $335 billion in 2015. At that time, I was a young guy and I had a rascally … Read More
