 | | The Legacy of Fairchild Semiconductor - 6167 sec
[Recorded Oct 5, 2007]
Founded in September 1957 in Palo Alto, California by eight young engineers and scientists from Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation pioneered new products and technologies together with a youthful enthusiasm and manufacturing and marketing techniques that reshaped the semiconductor industry. The planar process developed in early 1959 revolutionized the production of semiconductor devices and continues to enable the manufacture of billion transistor microprocessor and memory chips today. Fairchild was the first manufacturer to introduce high-frequency silicon transistors and practical monolithic integrated circuits to the market. At the peak of its influence in the mid-1960s, as a division of Fairchild Camera & Instrument Corporation, the company was one of the world's largest producers of silicon transistors and controlled over 30 percent of the market for ICs. Fairchild's extraordinary success stimulated an entrepreneurial fervor that gave birth to the phenomenon of Silicon Valley. Including systems and software businesses, the total number of companies in the Bay Area and beyond with Fairchild roots today lies in the thousands.
This lecture was presented during a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the company held at Stanford University and the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California on October 4, 5, and 6, 2007. Introduced by Staff Director of the Semiconductor Special Interest Group of the Museum and Fairchild Alumnus David Laws, the speakers are all Fairchild alumni who went on to make significant contributions to the semiconductor industry. They were asked to explore the lasting impact of Fairchild Semiconductor on Silicon Valley and the world.
Wilfred Corrigan earned a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science, London, England. After early work at Transitron and Motorola, Corrigan joined Fairchild Semiconductor in 1968. He served as president and chief executive officer of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation from 1974 until 1979. In 1981 he co-founded ASIC pioneer LSI Logic Corporation where he served as president, CEO, and chairman until 2005.
Gordon Moore was born and spent his childhood near San Francisco, California. He earned a PhD in Chemistry and Physics from the California Institute of Technology. He was one of the eight co-founders of Fairchild in 1957. As head of R&D, in 1965 he published an observation on the increase of integrated circuit complexity with time, now known as "Moore's Law" that emerged as one of the driving principles of the semiconductor industry. In 1968 Moore co-founded Intel Corporation with Robert Noyce, became president and CEO in 1975 and held that post until elected chairman and CEO in 1979. He remained CEO until 1987 and was named chairman emeritus in 1997.
W. J. (Jerry) Sanders III was born in Chicago. He earned a BS in electrical engineering from Illinois State University and worked at Douglas Aircraft and Motorola before joining Fairchild as a salesman in 1961. He rose to group director of worldwide sales and marketing before leaving to co-found Advanced Micro Devices in 1969. Sanders served as president, CEO. and Chairman of AMD until 2004.
Moderator Floyd Kvamme was an early Fairchild marketing manager, vice president of marketing at National Semiconductor, and executive vice president of Sales and Marketing for Apple Computer. He is a partner emeritus at the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and co-chair of the president's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Semiconductor makes Sound Films, which reveal our physical world in flux: cities in motion, shifting landscapes and systems in chaos. Central to these works is the role of sound, which becomes synonymous with the image as one gets created, controlled and deciphered by the other. Tonight they will perform a series of works using a combination of their own real-time animation software, Sonic Inc. and image responsive live soundtracks.

:: Cinema - 11/03/08 ::
The majority of cinema as a form seeks to:
1. capture ideas and impressions of the spaces and places we inhabit or
2. visualise those we can't.
The former of these, representation, has been more dominant throughout cinema's history. The lens has in effect become a means of capturing our 'reality', allowing us to store and later reproduce sights and sounds to be replayed as a substitute for personal memories.
With the arrival of computing and it's now widespread use within cinema we see the latter begin to take dominance. Cinema as representation is changing to cinema as simulation, creating an era more important than the transition from silent to sound or from black and white to colour. Cinema has the possibility to become a form without any necessarily inferred referent, it is known, quantifiable (pixels) and so can be modified, abstracted, constructed in numerous ways. It's method of production can be improved, changed or even reconceived allowing it's authors to work as never before. Cinema arrives at the end of an era with promise of a new one enabling it to become immersive, live, participative, interactive, navigable, recombinatory, distributed, networked, coded etc.
On March 11th 2008 Open Ear (http://openear.wordpress.com/) hosted an event curated by Garrett Lynch (http://www.asquare.org/) entitled Cinema presenting performances and experimental films on this theme.

| | Disinformation vs Semiconductor - 180 sec
Disinformation "Stargate" - recording of "Type 2" solar noise storm released as the title track to the Disinformation "Stargate" LP (published by Ash International in 1996) which recently featured on the BBC Radio 4 programme "Broadcasting House". The audible phenomenon is produced by Coronal Mass Ejections - plasma bursts on the surface of the sun, associated with sunpots and solar flares, which excite radio-emissions that manifest on terrestrial shortwave radio. Depending on the polarity of the solar wind, the interaction between a Coronal Mass Ejection and the earth's magnetic field may produce magnetic storms, which trigger auroral displays, lightning and the release of natural VLF band radio "whistlers", and disrupt electricity supplies and communications networks etc. In this way, the "Stargate" project is closely related to Disinformation's "Ghost Shells" (VLF whistler recordings) and "National Grid" (recordings of invisible electromagnetic interference fields radiated by live mains electricity) both of which were also released on LP in 1996 (and re-issued as CD tracks in 1997). The highest profile exhibition of the original Disinformation recordings was at Kiasma art museum in Helsinki.
"While solar flares either dissipate in space or are drawn back to the surface of the sun, plasma shock-waves surge outward, increasing the velocity of the solar wind. On impact the earth's magnetosphere warps like a tennis ball being hit with a hammer. Powerlines blow as DC transients induce in AC grids and submarine cables: ionospheric disruption distorts or obliterates radio communications, GPS reception and TV: satellites malfunction and drift off course: impulses in astronauts' nerves misfire: aurora intensify in the sky: VLF whistlers echo across the nightside of the globe: it has even been argued that electrical accumulations in the metal structures of gas-pipelines and petrochemicals storage have caused explosions claiming hundreds of lives. While this coronal mass ejection may take anything from 6 to 40 hours to reach earth, its emergence through the upper layers of the sun's atmosphere 'rattles' local plasma exciting a radio emission which reaches earth at the speed of light."
Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt) were (non-contributing) artists in residence during the first Disinformation solo exhibition at Fabrica gallery (Brighton) in 2001, 5 years after the release of the "Stargate" LP. Ten years after that original release, Disinformation received a cash advance from Semiconductor for the use of "Stargate" as a soundtrack to a Semiconductor video installation called "Brilliant Noise" (released on DVD by Fatcat Records). Upon completion, Joe Gerhardt point blank refused to inform Disinformation about any exhibitions of the collaborative work. As a result of his refusal, a decision not to make this material available on-line has been reversed, in order to give more publicity to the historic precedent (and the other similarities between Semiconductor projects and themes Disinformation explored years earlier aren't co-incidental either). The "Stargate" radio recordings are published by Touch Music and copyright Disinformation, however none of the footage of solar flares and sunspot activity etc used in "Brilliant Noise" was produced by Semiconductor, as products of US government employees, according to US copyright law, these images are therefore public domain, and dozens of these kinds of videos are already available on You Tube. Unlike virtually all art-science projects that since explored similar imagery, the recording of the original "Stargate" LP was a literally no-budget, totally DIY project - realised with miniscule resources, using entirely borrowed equipment, without any institutional support or funding, and without any help from professional scientists.
http://www.lecturelist.org/content/view_lecture/3730
"Stargate" has been exhibited at Kiasma (Helsinki), at Event Gallery and at The Foundry (London), and recently presented at the Open Ear event at Canterbury Christ Church University, at Another Roadside Attraction and at Goldsmiths College in London. Details the original "Stargate" / "National Grid" LP can be found at http://www.discogs.com/release/66465
A sample of the original Disinformation release can also be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytkRng7GZKk
The Semiconductor / Fatcat DVD also features contributions from Max Richter, The Twilight Sad, Christian Vogel, Ensemble, Robert Hampson, Iris Garrelfs, Antenna Farm, Our Brother the Native, Gaeoudjiparl and Thomas Dimuzio.
The new 35mm cinema version of a Disinformation project called "Fire in the Eye" (commissioned by Threshold Studios for The Arts Council of England) premieres at The Edinburgh International Film Festival on Saturday 21 June (the first still-image version of "Fire in the Eye" was made in 2004 and first exhibited at Wrexham Arts Centre in 2006) - details from http://www.edfilmfest.org.uk

| | Semiconductor Malfunction Tester : DigInfo - 119 sec
DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv
Hanwa Electronic Ind. has developed the HIT-5000, an immunity tester that tests semiconductors for immunity to noise using the impulse method. The pulse signal generator inside the tester generates a pulse signal that induces noise on the semiconductor.
Probing can be easily conducted because the tester can be connected through a connector, and thus the tester is ideal for device tests. It also enables timing analysis.
Normally, when an impulse is applied with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) gun, the power supply voltage noise that appears on the LSI pins may at times form an oscillating waveform even when the impulse is applied with a positive discharge.
Particularly in cases where the malfunction threshold values in the positive and negative directions differ, it is possible that malfunction could occur due to values that exceed the negative direction threshold even if a positive discharge is applied. The HIT-5000 however offers greater versatility because it can separately evaluate either the positive or negative direction when a square pulse wave is input.

| | Non Gaussian beam semiconductor laser light source : DigInfo - 111 sec
DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv
Kikoh Giken's non Gaussian beam semiconductor laser light source features the advantages of semiconductor lasers for irradiation of a fixed surface area and can therefore be used as a spot light source. The line light source comes with enhanced brightness uniformity.
The new light source uses a red laser and a blue-violet laser with a focal length of 100mm and is available with a spot diameter of 15mm, 25mm and 50mm.
Kikoh Giken solved this issue by developing a uniform laser light source with a brightness distribution of plus or minus 20%. The new laser light source was also designed with consideration of alternative light from other sources and as a result, the image processing range was expanded.

| | V03 Carrier Effects in RF Semiconductor - 98 sec
In 1971 Dr. Ohsaki joined OKI Research Laboratory and engaged in R&D of very high speed wireless data transmission by 20GHz band amiming 500Mbps per CH, system data rate more than 8Gbps. In his research activity, he found two very important findings of carrier effects in FR semiconductor.
The first one is an invention of today's Hetero-Junction to generate high density free electrons at an interface of i-Ge (i-GaAs) and n-GaAs (n-GaP) of compound semiconductor crystals. By this structure, ultra high speed transistors of bipolar and FET are realized. So far wave guides were used in microwave systems with very large physical size and weight. Such microwave systems could be integrated on a tinny semiconducto chip by Hetero-Juction structure. RF Amp, LO, and Mixer were integrated on a GaAs chip of a few square mm. Today his invented structure is so widely used in cellular phone, TV, and satellite communication and many others.
The second one is minority carrier effect of PN junction when it is switched from forward to reverse and application to very high spped high power direct phase modulation. The minority carrier works as a variable resistance (not reactance), and hence orthogonal component of modulated microwave is dramatically decreased, and QPSK(Multi-PAM) modulation & de-modulation by low bit error rate is achieved. And PIN junction for more effective application of minority carriers was proposed. A special driving circuit for modulation was developed too. Before his invention, SBD or varactor diode were used, but power handling capability was very small and modulation loss was large, -2 to -3 dB. On the other hand, the loss by his method was less tahn -0.5 dB. Today his invention is still used in satellite communication and rader system.

Kikoh Giken's MLXK semiconductor laser light source, is a product that achieves a more uniform level of line light in the center, brightness distribution on both sides, and energy distribution.
The new laser achieves a brightness distribution of plus or minus 10% at the center of the line light and at both ends, and thereby solves the problems faced by conventional line laser light sources. The laser beam can support various lasers, focal lengths, and wide angles to accommodate user needs by adjusting and assembling several complex lenses.
