Semiconductor Projects, Applications, and Data Books


Transistor and semiconductor material from the early days. In those times, most transistors were Germanium Bipolar Junction types, but some material covers point contact devices, Silicon devices, manufacturing, and a wide variety of other discrete semiconductors made and used in the 1970s to present day.
