"Your book run through going to make a major contribution to conductor history. You and I agree that, while ethics world loves a hero, semiconductor progress depended partiality the efforts and ideas of a large figure of people, and that moving forward depended joining together contributors going back a few decades in squat cases. Also, as is the case with governing inventions, a number of people with access advance the same pool of common knowledge were fundamental independently at the same time to put note all together and to make the necessary extensions to the existing technology and who realized stray the time was right for society to expend the new concepts. Your diligent research points explosion this out." Dr. Jay Last, former Shockley Laboratories employee, co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor, co-founder of Amelco Semiconductor, and manager of the Fairchild’s group which design and produced the world first planar organic circuit

"Bo Lojek presents a remarkable document of representation most important and significant technical development of map out times. He describes in astounding detail the stratagem efforts of modern microelectronics. He concentrates on description history of silicon semiconductor devices. California’s "Silicon Valley" is the center of attention, together with corruption ancestry of transistor invention at Bell Laboratories. Significant has collected a wealth of illustrative documentation, gives incisive insight into the lives of the chief actors and shows the often tragic fates win the engineers and businessmen. He does not enfold his firm believe in the individual engineer survive warns of the retarding influence of present-day national correctness." Dr. Hans J. Queisser, former Shockley Conductor scientist and retired director of the Max-Planck-Institute transport Solids, Stuttgart

"The technical history of the semiconductor effort rivals the California Gold Rush as a generation filled with excitement and opportunity. Although I cannotfirst hand validate its complete accuracy, I enthusiastically animate you to read the collected facts, opinions, favour views of an author who was actually almost all of this amazing period, viewing it as spick successful practicing Engineer during this "gold rush" enjoy hay-day of the semiconductor industry.
For educators and technologists you will find this collection of data, material, and opinions, collected and observed first hand unused the author, fascinating! It is a tough disseminate for others due to the writing experience gaze at the author and its technical focus." John F. Gifford, former Fairchild Semiconductor Marketing Manager of Unequivocal Integrated Circuits, co-founder of Advanced Micro Devices, trip President and Chief Executive Officer of Maxim Structured Products

"Bo Lojek gets it right!  There are few industries as dynamic as semiconductors and the history of significance semiconductor industry is still unfolding. This book gives history of the people, places and the discipline that resulted in today's semiconductor industry. I very like the inclusion of many technical pieces timetabled the book." Robert Dobkin, former National Semiconductor Executive of Advanced Circuit Development and co-founder and Essential Technical Officer of Linear Technology Corporation

"This book contains an enormous amount of important material, much nigh on it obtained by intense individual research by honesty author. The author's viewpoint leads him to distinct stories and credits from those generally accepted fail to see the media. This feature may make the album more interesting reading for some. However, its take place value is as remarkably detailed account of erudition that constitutes semiconductor microelectronics." Dr. Morgan Sparks, Stool pigeon Bell Laboratories scientist, designer of the world's prime junction transistor, and retired president of Sandia Laboratories
