Description:
Black-and-white photograph of Dr. Robert N. Noyce. Intel co-founder, Bob
Noyce's nickname was the "Mayor of Silicon Valley." He was one of the
very first scientists to work in the area -- long before the stretch of California had
earned the Silicon name -- and he ran two of the companies that had the greatest impact
on the silicon industry: Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel. At both companies, Noyce
introduced a very casual working atmosphere, the kind of atmosphere that has become a
cultural stereotype of how California companies work. But along with that open
atmosphere came responsibility. Noyce gave his young, bright employees phenomenal room
to accomplish what they wished, in many ways defining the Silicon Valley working style
was his third revolution. He also invented the integrated chip, one of the stepping
stones along the way to the microprocessors in today's computers. Noyce died of heart
failure in 1990, at the age of 62.
