Robert Norton Nojs (12. decembar 1927 – 3. jun 1990), s nadimkom „gradonačelnik Silikonske doline”, bio je američki fizičar koji je koosnivač Ferčild poluprovodnika 1957. godine i Intel korporacije 1968. godine. Njemu se pridaju zasluge za realizaciju prvog monolitičkog integralnog kola ili mikročipa, što je podstaklo revoluciju personalnih računara i dalo ime Silikonskoj dolini.[1][nb 1]
Rani život[уреди | уреди извор]
Nojs je rođen 12. decembra 1927. u Burlingtonu, Ajova[2][3][4][5][6] kao treći od četiri sina[4] prečasnog Ralfa Brustera Nojsa.[7] Njegov otac je završio koledže Don, Oberlin i Čikašku teološku bogosloviju i takođe je bio nominovan za Rudsovu stipendiju.[8]
Njegova majka, Harijet Mej Norton, bila je ćerka prečasnog Miltona J. Nortona, sveštenika kongregacije, i Luiz Hil. Ona je diplomirala je na Oberlin koledžu i pre braka sanjala je da postane misionar.[9] Novinar Tom Volf ju je opisao kao „inteligentnu ženu sa zapovedničkom voljom“.[10]
Nojs je imao tri brata: Donalda Sterlinga Nojsa, Gejlorda Brustera Nojsa i Ralfa Harolda Nojsa.[4][11] Njegov brat Donald je postao ugledni profesor i vanredni dekan za dodiplomske poslove na UC Berkli koledžu za hemiju; Robert je kasnije stvorio nagradu Donald Sterling Nojs, kako bi nagradio izvrsnost u dodiplomskom predavanju na Berkliju.[12] Njegov brat Gejlord je postao ugledni profesor praktične teologije i dekan studenata na Jejl Diviniti školi. Godine 1961, dok je bio mlad profesor, uhapšen je jer je bio jedan od Jahača slobode pokreta za građanska prava.[13]
Kada je Nojs imao dvanaest godina u leto 1940, on i njegov brat su napravili avion veličine dečaka kojim su leteli sa krova štale Grinel koledža. Kasnije je napravio radio počevši od nule i motorizovao svoje sanke tako što je zavario propeler i motor sa stare mašine za pranje veša sa zadnje strane.[14] Njegovi roditelji su bili religiozni, ali Nojs je u kasnijem životu postao agnostik i nereligiozan.[15]
Karijera[уреди | уреди извор]
Nakon što je diplomirao na MIT-u 1953. godine, Nojs se zaposlio kao inženjer istraživanja u Filko korporaciji u Filadelfiji. Napustio je taj posao 1956. da bi se pridružio Vilijamu Šokliju, kopronalazaču tranzistora i konačnom dobitniku Nobelove nagrade, u Šoklijevoj poluprovodničkoj laboratoriji[16] u Mauntin Vju, Kalifornija.
Nakon što je Džek Kilbi izumeo prvo hibridno integrisano kolo (hibridni IC) 1958. godine,[17] Nojs je 1959. nezavisno izumeo novi tip integrisanog kola, monolitno integrisano kolo (monolitni IC).[18][19] Ono je bilo praktičnije od Kilbijeve implementacije. Nojsov dizajn je napravljen od silikona, dok je Kilbijev čip napravljen od germanijuma. Nojsov pronalazak je bio prvi čip sa monolitno integrisanim kolom.[20] Za razliku od Kilbijevog IC koje je imalo spoljne žičane veze i nije moglo da se masovno proizvodi, Nojsov monolitni IC čip je stavio sve komponente na čip od silikona i povezao ih bakarnim vodovima.[19] Osnova za Nojsov monolitni IC bio je planarni proces, koji je početkom 1959. razvio Džin Horni.

Neither of us could decide about God," Bowers says. "I remember Bob saying, 'Some people who believe in God are good, and some people who believe in God are not good. So where does that leave you?' He had [also] looked around and decided that religion is responsible for a lot of trouble in the world." Noyce, always pushing against the limits of accepted knowledge, told Bowers that what bothered him most about organized religions was that "people don't think in churches."«
