I am happy to help you solve your problem. Fairchild Semiconductor was founded in 1957. This historical fact must start from two clues.

In 1955, Dr. W. Shockley, the "father of the transistor" who achieved "the greatest invention of this century", left Bell Labs and returned to his hometown of Santa Clara to found the "Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory".

This good news is exactly what Professor Terman wants to do to attract talents from all over the world in Silicon Valley: With Shockley as a "sycamore tree", why not attract hordes of "phoenixes"?

The electronics and computer industry anxiously followed Shockley's whereabouts.

It is said that when Newton announced his intention to build a factory in his hometown 300 years ago, the physics community around the world had the same mentality.

Soon, because he admired the name of the "father of the transistor", application letters flew to Shockley's desk like snow flakes.

The next year, eight young scientists arrived in Silicon Valley from the eastern United States and joined Shockley Laboratory.

They are: N. Noyce, R. Moore, J. Blank, E. Kliner, J. Hoerni, J.

Last), S.Boberts and V.Grinich.

They are all under 30 years old, in their prime, academically accomplished, and at the peak of their creative abilities.

Among them were those who had obtained double doctorates, engineers from large companies, and researchers and professors from famous universities. This was a large collection of talents that had never been seen in the western United States at that time.

The 29-year-old Noyce is the elder among the eight and the most determined one to "dedicate" to Shockley.

The first thing he did when he flew to San Francisco was to spend all his money to buy himself a residence and decided to settle down permanently, without taking into account the working environment, conditions and treatment.

The other seven young people’s experiences in coming to Silicon Valley were largely similar to Noyce’s.

It is a pity that Shockley is a talented scientist but lacks business ability; he is ambitious but knows nothing about management.

Terman once commented: "Shockley is a very attractive figure in the eyes of talented young people, but it is difficult for them to do things with him." In one year, the laboratory did not develop any decent results

The product.

Eight Rebels Eight young people began to plan to run away without telling Shockley.

Led by Noyce, they submitted their resignation to Shockley.

Shockley angrily called them "The Traitorous Eight."

The young people looked at each other, but left their "Bole" without hesitation.

However, later even Shockley himself changed his tune and called them "the rebellion of eight geniuses."

In many books on Silicon Valley, the photos of the "Rebel Eight" have the same historical value as the photos of HP's garage.

The "Eight Rebels" found a photographic equipment company located in New York, USA, to support their business. The company's name was Fairchild, transliterated as "Fairchild", but usually translated as "Fairy Child".

The predecessor of Fairchild Photographic Equipment Company was the aerial photography company founded by Sherman Fairchild in 1920.

Fairchild was not only an entrepreneur but also an inventor.

His inventions were mainly in the field of aviation, including sealed cabin aircraft, folding wings, etc.

Because the products were so popular, he split the company in two in 1936. Among them, Fairchild Photographic Equipment Co., which produced cameras and electronic equipment.

When the "Rebel Eight" approached him for cooperation, Mr. Fairchild, who was already in his 60s, only provided $3,600 in seed funding, requiring them to develop and produce commercial semiconductor devices and enjoy two-year purchase privileges.

As a result, the company founded by the "Eight Rebels" was officially named Fairchild Semiconductor Company, and the head of the "Fairchild" was naturally Noyce.

In October 1957, Fairchild Semiconductor still rented a cabin on Charleston Road in Lookout Mountain, Silicon Valley, about as far from Shockley Laboratory as it was from the original Hewlett-Packard garage.

The "Fairy Boys" discussed creating a double-diffusion-based transistor to replace the traditional germanium material with silicon. This was an unfinished project at Shockley Laboratory that was not taken seriously by Shockley.

Fairchild Photographic Equipment Company agreed to provide financial resources totaling $1.5 million.

Noyce divided the work between his partners, with Herney and Moore responsible for researching new diffusion processes, while he and Laster specialized in flat photographic technology.

In January 1958, IBM gave them their first order, ordering 100 silicon transistors for use in the memory of the company's computers.

By the end of 1958, the small company of the "Eight Rebels" had sales of 500,000 and 100 employees. Relying on the advantages of technological innovation, it became the fastest growing company in Silicon Valley.

Under Noyce's careful planning, Fairchild Semiconductor's business developed rapidly. At the same time, a set of planar processing technologies for manufacturing transistors also became increasingly mature.

The genius scientist Herni is the best among the "fairy children". He squeezes the oxide layer on the surface of silicon to the maximum like magic.

Fairchild's method of manufacturing transistors is also unique. They first diffuse impurities with semiconductor properties into high-purity silicon wafers, then draw the transistor structure on the mask, shrink it using photolithography, and develop the structure on the silicon.

The oxide layer on the surface of the wafer is removed, and then the unnecessary parts are removed using photolithography.
