Jun 26, 2024 · Shockley's work at Bell Labs laid the foundations for the semiconductor industry. His invention of the transistor effect, for which he shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics, enabled the creation of countless electronic devices we rely on today, from radios to computers to space shuttles.
Jun 21, 2024 · Shockley’s device is often called the bipolar junction transistor because its operation requires that the negatively charged electrons and their positively charged counterparts (the holes corresponding to an absence of electrons in the crystal lattice) coexist briefly in the presence of one another.
