Oh I love these detailed runs into the past. Also the fact that physics and chemistry where the main driver. Software became the most prominent figure in computing or at least that is how I perceived this growing up. I learned very late what the advances in semi conductor development really meant and how important they were.
- Gibbon1 7y agoIt was amusing reading that the transistor used int he CDC6600 was gold doped. Turns out that common switching diodes like the 1n4148 are gold doped for the same reason. Increases switching speed. You pay for it though, they leak like a sieve esp at higher temps.
