	IC Knowledge - History of the Integrated Circuit - 1960s
		Frank Wanlass at Fairchild Semiconductor originated and published the idea of complementary-MOS (CMOS).
		Initially Wanlass tried to make a monolithic solution, but eventually he was forced to prove the concept with discrete devices.
		Enhancement mode NMOS transistors were not yet available and so Wanlass was used a depletion mode device biased to the off-state.

		The majority of power consumed by CMOS circuits is in fact dissipated during transitions.
		CMOS circuits were invented in 1963 by Frank Wanlass at Fairchild Semiconductor.
		Originally a low-power but slow alternative to TTL, CMOS had become the predominant technology in digital integrated circuits some twenty-five years later.

	SSCS Quarterly, July 2003 - Tales from the History of Microelectronics: A Book Review
		As the chapters move the reader quickly along, the solutions to the problems leave one refreshed and a bit in awe.
		Zygmont describes complex concepts in a few clear and precise paragraphs: diffused versus grown junction transistors, Jean Hoerni's planar technology, Frank Wanlass using an electron beam evaporator to vaporize sodium in the MOS process.
		However, wonderfully frank first-hand recollections of early days and the self-effacing comments of Gordon Moore make up for a lack of rigorous precision.

		For example, while he worked at Fairchild Semiconductor in Silicon Valley in the early 1960s, the scientist Frank Wanlass uncovered the secrets to making what are called field-effect transistors.
		Much of the insight that guided Wanlass went back to his doctorial thesis at the University of Utah, which examined material contamination, of all things.
		But an awful lot of the improvement has come as chip makers, always struggling to stay ahead of their competitors, have fine-tuned the practices, procedures and production methods they used everyday.

	Gilder Technology
		Federico Faggin made possible the microprocessor by replacing fast metal gates on transistors with slow gates made of polysilicon.
		Frank Wanlass and others replaced faster NMOS and PMOS technologies with the 1,000 times slower and 10 times lower-power Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors (CMOS) that now rule the industry.
		Low and slow finds its roots in the very physics of solid state, separating the microcosm from the macrocosm.

	The Web of Learning
		A student of mine, Ross Bassett at North Carolina State, has written on the development of the MOS.
		As that was first developed at IBM and then other companies tried to take up the process, a person at IBM named Frank Wanlass had to go with it and get together with them and do it with them, and only then could they make the process work.
		Davis suggests that with the spectrometer something like the same problem came up.
