Two versions of the Intel-made-famous photo of the staff of the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory toasting their leader at a luncheon on the day after the announcement of the Nobel Prize honoring the inventors of the transistor (John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley). At table L-R: Gordon Moore, Sheldon Roberts, Victor Jones, and Shockley. Smoot Horsley stands at far left; Eugene Kleiner is in the immediate foreground, Robert Noyce is fourth from left, immediately behind Jones, Jay Last is at the far right. |
The oral history Gordon
Moore gave to the Silicon Genesis project (Stanford
University
Libraries) is quite insightful on the the "Shockley experience."
Randall MacLowry's recent The American Experience: Silicon Valley does a good job telling much of the story.
