| He
studied at the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, where also played teacher. In 1936
it
passed the laboratories of Bell Telephone, where he dedicated himself
to the study of the properties of semiconductors with a view to be able
to get through this, the effect of amplification of electricity.
Bardeen, actually managed to achieve this goal with the construction of
the device known today as transistors, in which the shrewd provision of
donor impurities and receptor electron allowed easily manage the
properties of semiconductors. For a prototype, said transistor to the
point of contact, Shockley and colleagues did follow as perfected a
junction transistor, to be innumerable and fundamental applications.
Shockley had several awards in 1956 with Bardeen shared the Nobel Prize
for Physics thanks precisely , his latest invention. | | |
