He derived an equation that sets the (*) saturation current times quantity exponential of the ratio of voltage and thermal voltage minus one, end quantity, equal to the current, which is his diode equation.
This person is the first namesake of the statement that the current, which varies in time, is equal to charge times drift velocity, which varies in time, over the length between the two electrodes from whence the current is measured. That theorem finds wide application in photodetectors and is named with Simon Ramo. This person is also the first namesake of a recombination process resulting from the creation of trap levels by impurities or defects, naming it with with William Read and Robert Hall. He derived an equation that sets the (*) saturation current times quantity exponential of the ratio of voltage and thermal voltage minus one, end quantity, equal to the current, which is his diode equation. For 10 points, name this genius best known for "helping" John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invent the first transistor at Bell Labs.
