Game da mutuwar Jay Last
Wani baƙo mai daraja shine Jay Last. Wanda ya rasu yana da shekaru 92 a duniya. Ya kasance daya daga cikin wadanda suka kirkiro guntun siliki. Kamfaninsa na ɗaya daga cikin takwas na farko da suka ƙaura zuwa Silicon Valley, wanda ya kafa tushen kuɗi, al'adu da tattalin arziki don abin da ya kasance babban birnin fasahar kwamfuta na duniya.
Ɗan baƙi, Bajamushe da ɗan Scotland-Irish (malamai biyu) sun yi hijira yana ɗan shekara 16 daga garinsu don shiga cikin girbin 'ya'yan itace a California. Kamar yadda ya zo kafin a fara, dole ne ya rayu akan cent 5 na karas a rana har sai ya fara aiki.
A cikin 1956 Last yana kammala digiri na uku a fannin kimiyyar lissafi a Cibiyar Fasaha ta Massachusetts lokacin da ya sami ziyara daga William Shockley, wanda ya kirkiro transistor kuma wanda ya ci kyautar Nobel a nan gaba. wanda ya ba da damar shiga wani sabon rukuni wanda ke neman yin tallan siyan transistor na silicon a cikin dakin gwaje-gwaje kusa da Palo Alto, California.
Ba sunan Shockley ba ko ƙalubalen da suka ƙaddara Karshe don karɓar tayin. Ya yi haka ne saboda sabon dakin binciken yana cikin kwarin arewacin California, inda ya shafe lokacin rani yana diban 'ya'yan itace bayan ya tashi daga gidansa a yankin karfen Pennsylvania.
Bai daɗe a cikin sabon aikin ba. Ya fuskanci maigidansa, tare da wasu abokan aiki guda bakwai da aka sani da sunan tausayi "The Eight Traitors," ya kafa nasa kamfanin transistor da aka sani da Fairchild Semiconductor., a cikin abin da yanzu ake la'akari da garin Silicon Valley.
A cikin wannan kamfani ne Dr Last tare da tawagarsa na masana kimiyya suka kirkiri wata babbar dabara wacce har yanzu ake amfani da ita wajen kera kwakwalwan kwamfuta.
Ƙirƙirar Fairchild Semiconductor
Shockley da tawagarsa sun yi amfani da kayan kamar silicon da germanium don ƙirƙirar transistor, madadin mafi kyawun bututun na'ura na gargajiya. Duk da haka, matsalar yadda za a haɗa su don gina babbar na'ura ta ci gaba.
A ƙarshe da tawagarsa sun yi ƙoƙarin yin amfani da mahadi masu guba don liƙa transistor a kan takardar silicon, da yanke su, da haɗa su da wayoyi ɗaya, amma hanyar ta kasance mai wahala, tsada, kuma sakamakon ya gaza yadda ake tsammani.
Daga nan ne daya daga cikin wadanda suka kafa Fairchild, Robert Noyce, ya ba da shawarar yin amfani da takardar siliki iri ɗaya don gina duka transistor da wayoyi. Ita ce hanyar da ake ci gaba da amfani da ita a yau.
Shekarun ƙarshe
Jay Last ya yi ritaya daga masana'antar kwamfuta tsawon shekaru 47, yana kula da jarinsa da tarin tarin kayan fasaha da akwatin citrus na Afirka. Ƙari ga haka, ya kasance marubuci kuma ya yi hawan dutse.
A matsayin abin ban sha'awa, yayin da yake kammala karatun digiri na uku, baya ga tayin Shockley ya sami wani don ɗaukar matsayin darektan dakin gwaje-gwajen gilashi a Butler, Pennsylvania, inda ya yi aiki a lokacin bazara. Lokacin da ya gaya wa iyayensa, mahaifiyarsa ta ce, 'Jay, za ka iya yin abin da ya fi haka da rayuwarka.'
Don haka ku san yara. Ku kula da iyayenku mata. Za su kawo karshen juyin juya hali a masana'antar kwamfuta kuma za su iya yin amfani da shekarun su na ƙarshe suna tattara alamun daga akwatunan citrus.
