A point-contact transistor was the first type of solid-state electronic transistor ever constructed, it was developed by which American physicist, electrical engineer, and research scientist?
Point-contact transistor A point-contact transistor was the first type of solid-state electronic transistor ever constructed. It was developed by research scientists John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter Brattain at Bell Laboratories in December, 1947. They worked in a group led by physicist William Shockley. The group had been working together on experiments and theories of electric field effects in solid state materials, with the aim of replacing vacuum tubes with a smaller, less power-consuming device.
John Stone Stone John Stone Stone (September 24, 1869 – May 20, 1943) was an American mathematician, physicist and inventor. He initially worked in telephone research, followed by influential work developing early radio technology, where he was especially known for improvements in tuning. Despite his often advanced designs, the Stone Telegraph and Telephone Company failed in 1908, and he spent the remainder of his career as an engineering consultant.
