A Tribute to Creator Of Microchip by Google

"Optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation. How else can the individual welcome change over security, adventure over staying in safe places?"

These words by Robert N. Noyce embody the philosophy by which he lived. He was a technologist, an entrepreneur, and an industry statesman.

As a technologist, he was the co-inventor of the integrated circuit and the holder of numerous patents. As an entrepreneur, he was a co-founder of both Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel Corporation, and an investor and advisor in several other companies. And, as an industry statesman, Bob helped found the Semiconductor Industry Association, was a Regent of the University of California, served on the President's Commission on Industrial Competitiveness, and was the first Chief Executive Officer of SEMATECH. Noyce died in 1990 in Austin, Texas, aged 60. His family set up the Noyce Foundation, which works to improve the teaching of maths, science and literacy in US schools.

Robert Norton Noyce (December 12, 1927 – June 3, 1990), nicknamed "the Mayor of Silicon Valley".
