The transistor wasprobably the mostimportant invention ofthe 20th Century, andthe story behind theinvention is one ofclashing egos and topsecret research.

Picture shows the workbench of JohnBardeen (Stocker Professor at OU) and
Walter Brattain at Bell Laboratories. Theywere supposed to be doing fundamentalresearch about crystal surfaces.
The experimental results hadn't been
very good, though, and there's a rumor thattheir boss, William Shockley, came near tocanceling the project. But in 1947, workingalone, they switched to using tremendouslypure materials.
It dawned on them that they couldbuild the circuit in the picture. It was aworking amplifier! John and Walter submitteda patentfor the first working point contacttransistor.
Interesting story

Shockley was furious and took theirwork and invented the junction transistorand submitted a patent for it 9 days later.The three shared a Nobel Prize in 1955.Bardeen and Brattain continued inresearch (and Bardeen later won another
Nobel).
Shockley quit to start a semiconductorcompany in Palo Alto. It folded, but itsstaff went on to invent the integrated
circuit (the "chip") and to found IntelCorporation.
By 1960, all important computers usedtransistors for logic, and ferrite cores for
memory.
