To commemorate this occasion, the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) has published a commemorative anniversary volume that provides a comprehensive yet compact coverage of the transistor's development since its inception to the current state of the art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book reflects the transistor's evolution from its early stages of research and development to the complex integration and manufacturing technologies and applications that it enables today. The chapters are organized in chronological order to reflect the historical developments that led to the invention of the transistor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarratives and experiences are provided by a select number of venerated industry and academic leaders, as well as retired veterans, of the semiconductor industry. These contributions provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that have shaped the transistor's development over the past 75 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book highlights several key milestones in the transistor's development, including the invention of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) by William Shockley in 1948. Shockley's formulations laid the foundation for the semiconductor industry and paved the way for the development of large-scale integration, Moore's Law, and transistor scaling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLarge-scale integration, which began in the 1960s, led to the development of MOS\/LSI technology, including flash memories, SRAMs, DRAMs, and image sensors. The Toshiba NAND flash memory, introduced in 1989, was a significant breakthrough in solid-state storage technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImage sensors, including charge-coupled devices, have also played a crucial role in the transistor's development. These sensors have found applications in a wide range of industries, from consumer electronics to medical imaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith comprehensive yet succinct and accessible coverage of one of the cornerstones of modern technology, the 75th Anniversary of the Transistor is an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and students interested in the history and future of electronic devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781394202447\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44523053973754,"sku":"9781394202447","price":74.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692978021103_book.jpg?v=1693207579","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/75th-anniversary-of-the-transistor-9781394202447","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
