Company Overview<\/h2>\n

Created to develop the MOSFET wafer fabrication technology. MOSFET technology was sold under the brand name of Picologic. Never made money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Major Achievements<\/h2>\n

In 1965, developed the MOS (MOSFET) wafer fabrication technology. Created the first MOSFET chips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
