"The Chip History Center is the world's first virtual museum focused on the history of
the semiconductor industry, semiconductors, how computer chips are made, and the tools used to make them.
Exhibits focus on landmark designs and manufacturing equipment as well as the legendary visionaries and companies
that made it all possible. It spans the history from the early days of the transistor, when discrete devices dominated,
to the invention of the integrated circuit, through VLSI, and beyond. The Chip History Center is intended to be a
center where researchers of all ages can find an historical archive of the semiconductor industry.
It differs from most histories of semiconductors in its primary focus on the history of semiconductor manufacturing.
Visitors can see the tools used to make semiconductors and how they have evolved over time.
Without these tools, Moore's Law would not have been possible. Without it, the electronics revolution would not have
been possible. Key papers and presentations that document the disruptive force of semiconductor technology on history
can be found, as well as many other items important to the history of semiconductors. Videos of semiconductor
visionaries are available. This and much more can be found at the chip history center."
