Original Fairchild Semiconductor building
Does anyone know where the original Fairchild Semiconductor building was located. I was told there is a placque at the location and I would like to see it if it exists. Tnx!


 * Are you sure you're not referring to Shockley Semi? It's now a furnature store, and a placque is there.

Inventor of the planar IC
Noyce did not simply invent the planar IC. Can we get some more nuance to this idea? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.206.16 (talk) 02:33, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Article is outdated
This article is seriously out of date. Fairchild Semiconductor has been alive and well since a management buyout from National Semiconductor in 1997. It is now the number one supplier of power semiconductors in a range of applications. See http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/nys/fcs/reports/fcs_factbook03d.pdf

I have no connection with Fairchild: I am a UK based freelance writer and photographer.

Some part of the article is written in an commercial tone.

Comments on the article
I truly enjoyed reading this article. It's fairly well written. Yet, I had to make some corrections to improve the form. I also think it's decently detailed and I like its structure. However, I would merge all the information for 1996 through 1999 into "1990s" and 2001 through 2007 into "2000s". It would be more consistent with the rest of the decades.
