Makers of the Microchip by Christophe Lécuyer and David C. Brock

     This book is basically a gloss of included pages of the engineering notebooks of the founders of Fairchild. These men invented the microchip and went on to found the rest of Silicon Valley, including Intel. I would have gotten more out of it if I had read the appendix first, which is a carefully written and thus valuable refresher on semiconductor structure.
