Does anyone know where the original Fairchild Semiconductor building was located. I was told there is a placque at the location and I would like to see it if it exists. Tnx!
Are you sure you're not referring to Shockley Semi? It's now a furnature store, and a placque is there.

[edit] Pollution
There is no discussion of Fairchild's poisoning of ground water in San Jose, Ca.
[edit] Fairchild Semiconductor article
This article is seriously out of date. Fairchild Semiconductor has been alive and well since a management buyout from National Semiconductor in 1997. It is now the number one supplier of power semiconductors in a range of applications. See http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/nys/fcs/reports/fcs_factbook03d.pdf
I have no connection with Fairchild: I am a UK based freelance writer and photographer.

Some part of the article is written in an commercial tone.

[edit] IC invention
This article (espically the caption on the pictures) tend to say Fairchild made the first IC. Not true- it was Texas Instruments. Have you heard of Jack Kilby!
- Yes, I have? But read the plaque. The Fairchild guys invented the first IC that could be commercially produced, or the first "monolithic" IC, in the sense that it didn't need a kludge of bond wires to interconnect the devices. Kilby did a good thing, but Fairchild did even better. Dicklyon 02:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
