Dear All – Here is an event on December 16, 2022 that might be of interest to you all. [Purdue University] 75th Anniversary of the Invention of the Transistor Friday, December 16, 2022 Program Remarks 3:30 PM Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship [Banner] The Colleges of Engineering and Science invite you to celebrate Purdue's role in one of the greatest inventions of the 20th Century. The transistor was invented at Bell Labs on Dec. 16, 1947. Transistors are the basic building blocks for virtually all electronic systems. The transistor has been called one of the most important inventions because transistor electronics, especially the billions of transistors on leading edge silicon chips, transformed life in the 20th century and will have even more impact in the 21st century. Purdue University played an important role in the early history of semiconductor fabrication and physics leading to the invention of the transistor. This event celebrates Purdue’s semiconductor history as we look forward to an exciting new era of semiconductor electronics.
