Jean Hoerni was a swiss immigrant who moved to California in 1952. After living in California for a few years he was recruited to work at the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. Shockley’s strange behaviors caused Jean and his co-workers to create the Fairchild Semiconductor corporation where he developed the planar process.
Jean Hoerni is the founder, president, and chairman of the board of Intersil inc. His invention was the planar process which is the process used in the semiconductor industry to build individual parts of a transistor. The key concept was to view a circuit in its 2-dimensional plane. This allowed photographing processing concepts such as film negatives to block the projection of light exposed chemicals.
