During the so-called "Miracle Month" at Bell Labs, the (+) first point-contact one of these devices was created by a team led by future Nobel Prize winner William Shockley.
One of the earliest of these devices, co-created by Walter Brattain, was applied to a device that had the advantage of not needing to warm up, while a mechanism for producing many of these at once was developed by Jack Kilby. During the so-called "Miracle Month" at Bell Labs, the (+) first point-contact one of these devices was created by a team led by future Nobel Prize winner William Shockley. The "avalanche" type of these devices have a very small rise and fall time, while another type of these devices consists of a collector, base and emitter and is known as the Junction variety. (*) Texas Instruments produced the first one of these devices made from silicon, and these devices made from doped semiconductors largely replaced vacuum tubes. For 10 points, identify this core component of electronics, often used in namesake radios.
