The_integrated circuit and_the vacuum tube lobby, WHAT?
The transistor_was invented in 1947 and was the equivalent of a "vacuum tube", NOT the "integrated circuit" ?? The "transistor" is known as_a "solid state" device and replaced functions normally done by the_predecessor the vacuum tube which existed since about 1907 (amplification if biased properly, a switch if so biased, the triode, "valve" or thermionic triode, etc all common_names. Later of course diodes, tetrodes, pentodes as the device evolved. The triode being the basic equivalent of the eventual workhorse PnP or NpN transitor consisting of a collector, emitter and base being essentially equivalent to the cathode, anode and grid of the vacuum tube triode- where the "grid" or "base" voltage/current are used to control the main current between the emitter/collect or cathode/anode making amplification possible, switching, etc)
What vacuum_tube supposed lobby sought to suppress the_transistor?? When and where?
The "integrated circuit" is not in any way equivalent to a "vacuum tube" in that_a vacuum tube is a single, stand alone device- and can only be made that way. An "integrated circuit" came along and was developed to "etch" or "print" many, many transistors (later also resistors, capacitors, etc) onto a single substrate (a silicon wafer or base material) for mass production and "integration" into more complex functions- the most ubiquitous becoming the universal op-amp or "operational amplifier". The IC or "integrated circuit" concept followed shortly after the transistor around 1949 (Germany if I remember correctly, probably Siemens). It was later TI (Texas Instruments) who took the IC large scale, around the mid 1950's or so. It was Kilby at TI. I believe shortly thereafter then was infamous Fairchild and Noyce, with Kilby I believe also involved with them- from there, the rest is history and the entire "silicon valley" resulted from Fairchild primarily locating in that valley, then came the likes of Intel and all the rest. Kilby if memory serves later won a Nobel in physics for his work on the original "integrated circuit" patents, concepts, methods to make, etc
Not sure_of what attempts_are trying to be made to some imaginary vacuum_tube lobby and lil ole OCAT as there are_none. Zero. No relationship whatsoever I can_see? Makes no_sense at all?
