Engineering a Better Transistor
For a relatively simple, three-terminal device, the transistor has had
quite an impact on the world. The original idea behind the transistor, invented
by the now famous team of Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley at Bell Labs in
December, 1949, was to replace the mechanical switches used to route telephone
calls with solid-state devices.
