Semiconductors are made from silicon and germanium, doped into N-type and P-type materials. Their band gap governs conductivity, enabling diodes, transistors, and ICs.
The slide depicts the diamond cubic lattice structure of silicon atoms in semiconductors. It explains doping with phosphorus for N-type conductivity (adding electrons) and boron for P-type (adding holes).

The timeline traces semiconductor history from the 1947 transistor invention at Bell Labs by Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley, to the 1957 founding of Fairchild by the Traitorous Eight, and the 1958 first integrated circuit by Kilby and Noyce. It highlights the 1960s mass production boom and Schlumberger's 1979 acquisition of Fairchild.
1947: Transistor Invented at Bell Labs John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley invent the point-contact transistor. 1957: Fairchild Founded by Traitorous Eight Eight engineers leave Shockley Semiconductor to establish Fairchild Semiconductor. 1958: First Integrated Circuit Created Jack Kilby at TI and Robert Noyce invent the first IC independently. 1960s: Mass Production Boom Begins Semiconductor manufacturing scales up, driving electronics revolution worldwide. 1979: Schlumberger Acquires Fairchild Oilfield services giant Schlumberger purchases Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation.
