Victor Grinich
Victor Henry Grinich (born November 24, 1924 in Aberdeen , Washington, † November 5, 2000 in Mountain View ), originally Victor Grgurinović , was an American electrical engineer .
Life
Grinich was the son of Croatian immigrants. He served in the United States Navy during World War II . At that time he changed his last name from Grgurinović to Grinich so that it was easier to pronounce on military roll-outs.
He received a Master Accounts from the University of Washington in 1950. He then went to Stanford University , where he in 1953 received his doctorate ( Ph.D. ). In 1956 he became an employee of William B. Shockley's newly founded Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory , a division of Beckman Instruments , which he left after a year with eight other dissatisfied members, the Traitorous Eight (Eng. "The treacherous eight") to create Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation.
In the 1960s he left Fairchild Semiconductor and taught at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University. In 1975 he published the textbook Introduction to Integrated Circuits .
Grinich died of prostate cancer in 2000 .
