Victor Grinich, one of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor, the Silicon Valley company that helped start the computer revolution, died Sunday, November 4, 2000 in Mountain View, Calif. He was 75 and the cause of death was prostate cancer.
An electrical engineer by training, Grinich went to work for Shockley Semiconductor in 1956 but found it difficult to work for William Shockley, a Nobel Prize winner for his work as co-inventor of the transistor.
Grinich began at Fairchild as head of engineering and applications and then was second in command of the research and development department, which was headed by Moore.
