creator of integrated circuits and founder of Intel
Although he did not win a Nobel Prize for his idea of a tunnel diode, he received many awards during his lifetime and even the honorary title of “mayor of Silicon Valley.” It is unlikely that anyone else contributed to the popularization of silicon semiconductors as much as Noyce, who held 15 patents in this field.
Robert Noyce stepped down from running Intel with Howard Moore in 1987, and Andy Grove took over and continued to lead the company to greatness. In 1988, at age 61, he became president of Sematech, a consortium that was a partnership between the U.S. government and 14 U.S. semiconductor manufacturers (including, of course, Intel) to solve common manufacturing problems.
However, he did not manage to implement all his initiatives. On June 3, 1990, Robert Noyce died suddenly of a heart attack. And when his main competitor in his life's work – the invention of integrated circuits, Jack Kilby received the Nobel Prize in 2000everyone involved understood that Robert Noyce should stand next to him. However, according to paragraph 4 According to the Nobel Foundation's charter, the prize cannot be awarded posthumously.
