The University replayed £1.2 – the grant and up-side related to the university exit profit. Scottish enterprise made ‘profit’ from their £700K grant supporting the creation of GSS. Most of the staff of the 30 strong Synopsys R&D division in Glasgow are my former PhD students and postdocs. The tool chain is used by the major semiconductor manufacturers around the world.
This resulted in the establishment of the Synopsys Glasgow R&D division contributing to the development of important parts of the Synopsys Design Technology Co-Optimisation tool chain. GSS was created in 2010 with the support of Scottish Enterprise in the form of £700K grant to Glasgow University.įollowing the 5x5 EDA start-ups rule, and without any venture capital, in 5 years the company reached $5M revenue and was acquired by Synopsys in 2016. I believe that this is due to the success of my start-up company Gold Standard Simulations (GSS). I am delighted to appear in the new Glasgow University Innovation Strategy: The New Glasgow University Innovation Strategy
Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking strengthened as Chips Joint Undertaking 👉 Read more in the Chips JU official press release: #ChipsAct #ECS #ResearchandInnovation #Impact ➡ The creation of the Chips JU is a key element in the Chips Act’s overall ambition of doubling the EU’s global market share in semiconductors from 10% now to at least 20% by 2030. The Chips for Europe Initiative will pool resources from the European Union, its Member States, third countries associated with Union programs, and private sector stakeholders, represented by AENEAS, EPoSS, and Inside Industry Associations. ➡ A key pillar of the European Chips Act is the “Chips for Europe Initiative” which aims to enhance technological capacity and innovation in state-of-the-art chips on a large scale. The European Chips Act and the amended Single Basic Act (SBA) establishing the Chips Joint Undertaking under Horizon Europe have taken effect on 21 September, paving the way for strategic developments in the chip technology sector. I cannot find any discussion of why Lilienfield is not cited in electrolytic capacitor history: probably some stories there. As for electrolytic capacitors, William Dubilier seems to have dominated that commercially in early years even though Lilienfield's patent was about 6 months prior and is a fairly mature work since he had studied the oxide for several years. Those materials probably performed poorly compared to the advanced development of vacuum tubes. It is likely the amplifier was simply a curiosity at the time. That also led him to patent the aluminum oxide capacitor, which became ubiquitous and up until the 1960s was considered the best available capacitor by unit volume, although it needed to operate with a bias. It seems like he worked at understanding this and so 3 years later patent 1900018 explicitly describes the oxide and inverts the geometry of the fine control region by putting a groove in the semiconductor (copper sulphide). The diagram you show is from the earlier 1745175A patent which is also (assuming he had it working) a FET, where there is an accidental Al2O3 layer at the top of the foil 13 which is not described in the patent.
#MOSFET TRANSISTOR INVENTOR FULL#
We still do not understand in full the magnitude and the consequences of this transformation. Nowhere in the world can I find a monument of the MOSFET and his inventor Julius Edgar Lilienfeld who almost 100 years ago patented this incredibly important semiconductor device.īillions of MOSFETs are in the silicon chips of every smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop and power hungry data centre. Without the MOSFET, the chips and the corresponding electronic devices there will be no internet, world wide web, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Tweeter, WhatsApp, digital economy, on line shopping… In the last few decades the MOSFET has completely transform the economy, the society and us as humans. The Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is fuelling the Third and Fourth Industrial Revolutions but very few people even know about its existence. James Watt and the steam engine fueled the First Industrial Revolution and their monuments are everywhere. Were is the monument of the MOSFET and his inventor?
