Carver Mead was born in Bakersfield, California, in 1934 and holds BS (1956), MS (1957), and PhD (1959) degrees in electrical engineering, all from Caltech. Mead has made many pioneering contributions to solid-state electronics and was one of the leading forces in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design methodology.
Jul 1, 2024 · Lynn Conway is best known for her collaboration with Carver Mead that resulted in the Mead-Conway design methodology for VLSI chip design, which triggered a renaissance in IC development and spurred the growth of commercial EDA.
Jun 20, 2024 · After Conway joined PARC’s VLSI system design group, she worked closely with Carver Mead on chip design. Mead, now an IEEE Life Fellow, is credited with coining the term Moore’s Law.
Jun 19, 2024 · Like many other women in computing, however, Conway felt that she had been denied her due credit because of the way that her male co-inventor of VLSI, Carver Mead, was repeatedly given more...

Jul 1, 2024 · In 1980, Conway’s seminal textbook “Introduction to VLSI Systems,” co-authored by Caltech Professor Carver Mead, became an instant classic, forever transforming computing and information technology.
Jun 26, 2024 · It is hard to overstate how much the semiconductor industry owes to Lynn Conway and her co-author Carver Mead. Prior to this book, semiconductor design was an arcane art practised only inside semiconductor companies. It was not taught at University since nobody teaching knew anything about it.
