• W248413466 abstract "8 NOVEMBER 1923 * 20 JUNE 2005 MY CLOSE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION with Jack began when he joined Texas Instruments in May 1958, and for the next twelve years we worked together on the development of the integrated circuit program. After our careers took us down different paths for a while, we again shared offices and resumed our business association in 1986, continuing a personal relationship that lasted for a span of forty-seven years. Prior to joining Texas Instruments, Jack had developed miniature ceramic-based silk screen circuits at Centralab and was their representative at the Western Electric transistor licensing conference in 1952. During his first few months at TI, he explored various concepts for ease of electronic circuit assembly, but the economics were marginal or poor, and they were quickly set aside. As summer began, he explored the use of semiconductor material for each of the circuit functions, and during the employee vacation period in July he sketched an oscillator circuit formed in situ in a semiconductor substrate. Upon the employees' return, Jack reviewed his concept with Willis Adcock, the director of development, and a working model was fabricated, followed by several logic circuits in early fall. The immediate disclosure of those working circuits to senior management began a long period of dialogues between Jack and Pat Haggerty, president of Texas Instruments, exploring potential impact, modifications and applications, and strategic alternatives for an eventual business. Jack's skills in defining development programs and their business impact were nourished and advanced by these frequent interchanges with Pat. As a consequence, Jack's development projects became increasingly strategic in their approach Throughout the period from 1959 to 1961, the integrated circuit program had to overcome major credibility barriers raised by peers in the technical community and by customers, as the development advanced from laboratory units to simple demonstration equipment, to a compatible set of logic products, and, eventually, to equipment assemblies of some complexity. Jack's presence and one-on-one dialogues with senior technical staff at Air Force laboratories and major defense system companies were usually decisive in TI's selection for major development programs; in 1962 TI was awarded the development program for application of integrated circuits to the Minuteman II guidance system. Jack's leadership skills were tested within TI as he continually sought the resources he thought essential for integrated circuit development. The program's demands were far different from current practices for transistor development and production, and the transition from these discrete devices proved more difficult than anticipated at the time. An integrated circuit project team consisted of ten or more engineers as compared with the usual two to four persons involved in a transistor development. A logic set took longer to develop, and customers had to incorporate integrated circuits at the beginning of an equipment design cycle rather than modifying a production run as they could with transistors. It could take several years before a new integrated circuit produced a revenue stream, versus four to six months for a new transistor's revenues. Manufacturing technology shifted to wafer-centric processing versus mainly assembly and test processing for transistors and diodes. Equally strong differences occurred in sales and support, requiring new and dedicated approaches to these problems. Jack was an intensely competitive person and keenly focused on realizing the full potential of his innovations. His involvement was hands-on at each phase seeking competitive differentiation: designing more complex logic functions; devising the flat package form factor that practically all integrated circuits still use today; adapting critical process tools for IC manufacturing; and designing handling carriers for testing. …" @default.
