Embonini yezobuchwepheshe kunendida, edume kakhulu ungumlingiswa omncane ngumnikelo wakhe. Izolo, Mashi 24, uGordon Moore ushonile, omunye wamaphayona we-microprocessors futhi cishe abambalwa kakhulu abazi ukuthi sikhuluma ngobani.
Waziwa kakhulu ngomthetho obizwa ngegama lakhe, owabikezela ngokunembile ukuthi amandla ama-semiconductors azokhula kanjani, umnikelo wakhe awugcini kulokhu.
UGordon Moore washona
Ochungechungeni lwethu lwezihloko ezimayelana neBell Laboratories sitshela ukuthi ukusesha kwezinto ezihlala isikhathi eside nezisebenza kahle kunamashubhu e-vacuum kwaholela kanjani ekusungulweni kwe-transistor. Lapho lokhu kubekwa, umgomo omusha kwakuwukuthola izinto zokwakha ezikwazi ukumelana nogesi.
UWilliam Shockley, omunye walabo ababhekele ukusungulwa kwe-transistor, wasungula inkampani ebizwa ngokuthi iShockley Semiconductor ukuze ihwebe nge-silicon transistors. Omunye wososayensi abasebasha ababizile kwakunguGordon Moore.
UMoore wazalelwa eCalifornia ngo-1929 futhi wafunda e-Technological Institute yaleso sifundazwe lapho asebenza khona ngokukhethekile kwi-physics futhi wathola iziqu zobudokotela ku-chemistry. Wabe esethuthela eJohn Hopkins University e-Applied Physics Laboratory enza ucwaningo lwangemva kukadokotela lapho aqashwa khona nguShockley.
"Amambuka ayisishiyagalombili"
Ngiphoxekile yisitayela sokuphatha sikaShockley nokushoda kwemiphumela, kanye nozakwabo abayisikhombisa bajoyina i-Fairchild Semiconductor lokho akuchaza njengokukhaphela. UFairchild ubengenye yezinkampani zokuqala ukuthuthela eSilicon Valley ngo-1957.
Umthetho kaMoore
Endimeni yakhe njengomqondisi wezocwaningo nentuthuko e-Fairchild, uMoore uzosho umthetho ozokwenza isibongo sakhe sidume emhlabeni wezobuchwepheshe. Umthetho kaMoore washiwo okokuqala encwadini ye-Electronics Magazine eyanyatheliswa ngo-1965, eyaphawula ukuthi inani lezingxenye ezingafakwa kusekethe edidiyelwe lase liphindeke kabili ngonyaka, futhi lelo jubane lizoqhubeka. Eminyakeni eyishumi kamuva walishintsha leli gama laba iminyaka emibili.
Ngo-1968 kanye nozakwabo waseFairchild wasungula i-NM Electronics, kamuva eyayizobhapathizwa njenge-Intel Corporation lapho ayezoba iphini likamongameli, umongameli kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu.
Lapho esethathe umhlalaphansi wayezozinikela ekusizeni abantu abaningi abasekela izimbangela zemvelo.
