William Shockley 13 February 1910 - 1989, London, England principal papers hardware software keywords transistor, quantum physics see also related subjects Achievement Co invented the transistor with John Bardeen and Walter Brattain in 1947 Dr. John Bardeen, Dr. Walter Brattain, and Dr. William Shockley discovered the transistor effect and developed the first device in December, 1947, while the three were members of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956. Biography William Shockley was born in London to American parents who were in England for several years on business. His father was a mining engineer and his mother a federal deputy surveyor of mineral lands. They returned to California when William was a toddler. His interest in science was encouraged from early on, through his parents' professions and by a neighbor who taught physics at Stanford. He graduated from Cal Tech in 1932 and then received his PhD from MIT in 1936. He began work immediately at Bell Labs. His research in solid state physics, especially vacuum tubes, made many theoretical advances in the company's goal to use electronic switches for telephone exchanges instead of the mechanical switches used up until then. During World War II, Shockley worked on military projects, particularly refining radar systems. As soon as the war ended, he was back doing solid-state research, now investigating semiconductors.

Aug. 12, 1989, Palo Alto, Calif., U.S.), American engineer and teacher, cowinner (with John Bardeen and Walter H. Brattain ) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1956 for their development of the transistor , a device that largely replaced the bulkier and less-efficient vacuum tube and ushered in the age of microminiature electronics. Shockley studied physics at the California Institute of Technology (B.S., 1932) and at Harvard University (Ph.D., 1936). He joined the technical staff of the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936 and there began experiments with semiconductors that ultimately led to the invention and development of the transistor. During World War II, he served as director of research for the Antisubmarine Warfare Operations Research Group of the U.S. Navy. After the war, Shockley returned to Bell Telephone as director of its research program on solid-state physics. Working with Bardeen and Brattain, he resumed his attempts to use semiconductors as amplifiers and controllers of electronic signals. The three men invented the point-contact transistor in 1947 and a more effective device, the junction transistor, in 1948. Shockley was deputy director of the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group of the Department of Defense in 1954-55. He joined Beckman Instruments, Inc., to establish the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in 1955. In 1958 he became lecturer at Stanford University, California, and in 1963 he became the first Poniatoff professor of engineering science there (emeritus, 1974). He wrote

Shockley, William Bradford US physicist, who developed the junction transistor from the point-contact transistor. He was awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize for Physics. The son of a mining engineer, Shockley was educated at the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he gained his PhD in 1936. He immediately joined the research staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories and in 1953 became director of the transistor physics department. Shockley also became connected with a number of private companies all concerned with the commercial exploitation of the transistor. In 1963 he was appointed to the Poniatoff Professorship of Electrical Engineering at Stanford, remaining a consultant with Bell until he retired from both positions in 1975. In 1947 Shockley's colleagues at Bell, J. Bardeen and W. J. Brattain, invented the point-contact transistor. This, however, was a theoretical rather than a practical breakthrough. Shortly afterwards Shockley developed the more practical junction transistor, which transformed the electronics industry. Shockley shared his Nobel Prize with Bardeen and Brattain. Subsequently Shockley argued his minority views on genetics, gaining considerable publicity. Believing that blacks are less intelligent than whites, and that the current population explosion is spreading 'bad' genes at the expense of 'good', Shockley enthusiastically supported such schemes as a sperm bank produced by Nobel prizewinners, restrictions on mixed marriages, and voluntary sterilization.

A D V E N T U R E S in C Y B E R S O U N D William Bradford Shockley, Dr : 1910 - 1989 The American physicist William Bradford Shockley, b. London, Feb. 13, 1910, d. Aug. 12, 1989, shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for physics with John Bardeen and Walter Brattain for the invention of the transistor . Shockley had been working at Bell Telephone Laboratories since 1937 when the team developed (1948) a way to alter semiconductor crystals so that they could both detect and amplify radio waves. In 1963, Shockley became a professor of engineering science at Stanford University. During the late 1960s and in the 1970s, Shockley caused controversy by his active support of the viewexplored in the work of men such as Arthur Jensenthat intelligence capacity is a genetic trait of races. Source: The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia William Bradford Shockley belongs in our pantheon of saints because, with the invention of the transistor, he made electro-space possible. Before the transistor, computers filled huge, refrigerated rooms frosted to keep cool all the thousands of hot vacuum tubes needed to keep them humming along. Before the transistor, Arthur C. Clarke's geosynchronous communication satellite, running on vacuum tubes, was simply an impossible dream. That satellite, filled with millions of vacuum tubes (and dozens engineers to replace them as they burned out) would have been as big as Manhattan Island. Shockley got his undergraduate degree from CalTech in 1932, and his Ph.D. four years later at MIT. Then he went to work at Bell Labs. A little more than a decade later, he and two colleagues, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, came up with the transistor. It was a piece of gold foil wrapped around a plastic knife, pressed against a block of germanium that had an electrical connection at its base. Their device was primitive, but they had invented a new, immensely more efficient kind of valve to let electricity flow, or not flow, and amplify it. Now a great deal of the world's work could, and would, be done, at the speed of light.

Shockley Shockley, William (1910-1989) : joint inventor of the transistor William Shockley was one of the co-inventors of the transistor, which earned him the Nobel prize in 1956. Shockley had been interested in physics since he was a boy, and studied it at college, successfully graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in 1936. He went straight to Bell Laboratories to develop electronic improvements to the telephone exchange and during the Second World War he helped refine radar. Shockley moved into radio development when the war ended, and joined forces with John Bardeen and Walter Brattain to develop the first transistor in 1947. This revolutionised the way radios worked, making them smaller, lighter and cheaper. In 1955, Shockley quit Bell Labs to act as a consultant and visiting professor, and also set up his own research centre. He thought a great deal about the teaching process and how scientific thought could be improved, but arrived at some very controversial right-wing opinions. His contribution to science is, however, undeniable. About Contact Connected Earth Links
