摘要：
The story starts in February 1968 when I joined Fairchild Semiconductor R&D Lab in Palo Alto, CA, USA. At that time, nearly all the integrated circuits (ICs) in production used bipolar technology. Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology was up-and-coming but still had many problems: it was extremely slow and was not yet reliable. I believed that the future of digital electronics belonged to MOS technology because one could integrate in the same silicon area ten times more logic gates with half the number of manufacturing steps required by bipolar technology. © 1981-2012 IEEE.
