Business Development of Technology in Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley in California, the United States to become the mecca of the world of business technology, because the success of this area is developing high-tech business which is supported by Stanford University, the innovators, entrepreneurs and venture capital.
Growing Silicon Valley as a high-tech business center is not through a “grand design” set by government or business. Silicon Valley develop due to surge of research results from Stanford University, who was arrested by the entreprenur and then dimodali by angel investors (angel capital).
The immigrants who are interested in finding gold mendatangai area currently known as Silicon Valley around the year 1849. Education institutions are the key to the success of Silicon Valley is Stanford University, founded in 1891. Stanford University became the source of development ideas for the building industry. The first industry that stands driven by David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford, is the Federal Telegraph Company, the early 20th century also came the discovery and development of the triode vacuum in Palo Alto that was pioneered by Lee DeForest, then followed two decades later with the growth of radio tube industry ( tube radio industry).
Prof.Fred Terman who later became Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Stanford plays an important role in bridging the research results at Stanford with the industrial world.
On 1 January 1939, two Stanford University graduate launched the company’s electronic measurement equipment from their garage in Palo Alto with the help of Prof.. Fred Terman. Six decades later their company Hewlett-Packard became big companies in Silicon Valley with sales reaching U.S. $ 47.1 billion, they are pioneers of technology businesses in Silicon Valley.
In addition to Stanford and Hewlett-Packcard, Fairchild Semiconductor, Xerox PARC and Apple Computer are the companies that are very influential on the development of Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley became a legend with his success to print high-tech companies such as National Semiconductor in the field of integrated circuit, Intel in the fields of advanced micro devices, Apple is in the field of personal computers, Sun Microsystems in the field of worksations, Silicon Graphics in the field of 3D graphics, Oracle in database field software, 3 Com and Cisco Systems in the field of network computing, Yahoo as a pioneer in web search engines.
networks are very fast growing in Silicon Valley these days is Chinese and Indian immigrants. Chinese and Indian immigrants to master 27% of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley that develops in the period 1990-1998.
With the increasing number of graduates in the United States originating from Asia, then formed ethnic associations in Silicon Valley who grouped themselves into ethnic Chinese mainland, Chinese Taiwan and India. These ethnic groups became a mentor and source of initial financing for young entrepreneurs who try doing business in Silicon Valley. Most of these immigrants return to his homeland to build a technology business area, and a strong bridge in the transfer of experience from Silicon Valley to the business area of technology that they build.
The role of Stanford University
Stanford University has a very large role in the development of Silicon Valley.Sejarah Stanford Uiversity involvement in the business of technology began when Prof.Fred Terman as Dean of the Faculty of Engineering almost frustrating problems facing the scarcity of employment opportunities for graduates of the Department of Electrical in early 1936. Terman Prof.Fred directing graduates to start their own business. The first company funded by Prof.Fred Terman himself was Hewlett-Packard was founded by two of his disciples in 1939. Prof.Terman are angel investors (angel investors) who invest U.S. $ 500 as seed capital (seed capital). Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard built a company that floated standard of the best products, management and employee benefits company that later became the benchmark for companies in Silicon Valley and other areas. Hewlett-Packard representing startups (start-up company) built by the Faculty and alumni of Stanford University in the field of electronic equipment and instrumentation.
To see how far the influence of Stanford University in the development of Silicon Valley startups that need to be defined (start-up company) Stanford University is a company with technology that it developed is the result of research at Stanford University and majoriti founders were teachers, students or alumni of Stanford University.
The role of Fairchild Semiconductor
Fairchild Semiconductor was founded by eight physicists and engineers from Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories in 1957 to create an advanced silicon transistor (advanced silicon transistor). They are Sheldon Roberts, Eugene Kleiner, Jean Hoerni, Gordon Moore, Jay Last, Victor Grinich, Julius Blank and Robert Noyce, all of whom are experts who are very creative with a high educational background. Five people holds a degree in Physical sciences (physical sciences), and has done a very in-depth research in the field of spectroscopy, mettalurgy and solid-state physics. Noyce is a solid state physicist from MIT is the only expert in the field of semiconductor.Seperti Noyce and Last, Robert is an expert metallurgist who holds a Ph.D. from MIT, and Moore is the Physical chemist from Cal Tech, which has been experienced in the field of spectroscopy of hot gas for missile programs at Johns Hopkins. Last is Hoerni, Physics scientists from Switzerland with two degrees Ph.d.dari Oxford and the University of Geneva.
Prior to founding Fairchild Semiconductor, the scientists joined the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, a small semiconductor company in San Francisco Peninsula, which was founded in the spring of 1956.William Shockley founder of the company has developed a junction transistor in 1948, a finding that is very valuable, so Shockley later received the Nobel Prize in Physics science. Shockley and eighth scientist who recruits chose the Bay Area because of its beauty and its proximity to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Prof.Frerderick Terman of Stanford University who is expected influx of business in the field of electronics to the Bay Area, insisted that Shockley opened the laboratory is near the Stanford campus. Tit for tat Shockley is a native of Palo Alto, and his mother lived there, so he chose to build His laboratory in Palo Alo to be close to his mother.
Fairchild Semiconductor produces its first product to meet the demand for IBM in the early summer of 1958, kenudian meperkenalkan NPN transistor to the market at Wescon trade show in August of that sama.Fairchild also developed a new component designs that are very radical such as integrated circuit that became the backbone of the electronics industry in the 1960s.
