Robert Norton Noyce (December 12, 1927 – June 3, 1990), nicknamed "the Mayor of Silicon Valley", was an American physicist who co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel Corporation in 1968.
He is also credited with the realization of the first monolithic integrated circuit or microchip, which fueled the personal computer revolution and gave Silicon Valley its name. ==Early life== Noyce was born on December 12, 1927, in Burlington, Iowa the third of four sons of the Rev.

"If you're going to play, play to win!" When Noyce was twelve years old in the summer of 1940, he and his brother built a boy-sized aircraft, which they used to fly from the roof of the Grinnell College stables.
He graduated from Grinnell High School in 1945 and entered Grinnell College in the fall of that year.
He was the star diver on the 1947 Midwest Conference Championship swim team.
He returned in February 1949.
He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in physics and mathematics in 1949.
By declining the usual executive perks he stood as a model for future generations of Intel CEOs. At Intel, he oversaw Ted Hoff's invention of the microprocessor, which was his second revolution. ==Personal life== In 1953, Noyce married Elizabeth Bottomley, who was a 1951 graduate of Tufts University.
Gale suggested that he apply to the doctoral program in physics at MIT, which he did. Noyce had a mind so quick that his graduate school friends called him "Rapid Robert." He received his doctorate in physics from MIT in 1953. ==Career== After graduating from MIT in 1953, Noyce took a job as a research engineer at the Philco Corporation in Philadelphia.

He left in 1956 to join William Shockley, a co-inventor of the transistor and eventual Nobel Prize winner, at the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View, California. Noyce left a year later with the "traitorous eight" upon having issues with Shockley's management style, and co-founded the influential Fairchild Semiconductor corporation.

In turn, the basis for Hoerni's planar process were the silicon surface passivation and thermal oxidation methods developed by Mohamed Atalla in 1957. Noyce and Gordon Moore founded Intel in 1968 when they left Fairchild Semiconductor.
According to Sherman Fairchild, Noyce's impassioned presentation of his vision was the reason Fairchild had agreed to create the semiconductor division for the traitorous eight. After Jack Kilby invented the first [integrated circuit] (hybrid IC) in 1958, Noyce in 1959 independently invented a new type of integrated circuit, the monolithic integrated circuit (monolithic IC).

The basis for Noyce's monolithic IC was the planar process, developed in early 1959 by Jean Hoerni.
And that means education of the lowest and the poorest, as well as at the graduate school level." ===Death=== Noyce suffered a heart attack at age 62 at home on June 3, 1990, and later died at the Seton Medical Center in Austin, Texas. ==Awards and honors== In July 1959, he filed for "Semiconductor Device and Lead Structure", a type of integrated circuit.
In 1990 Noycealong with, among others, Jack Kilby and transistor inventor John Bardeenreceived a "Lifetime Achievement Medal" during the bicentennial celebration of the Patent Act. Noyce received the Franklin Institute's Stuart Ballantine Medal in 1966.

They divorced in 1974. On November 27, 1974, Noyce married Ann Schmeltz Bowers.
He was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor in 1978 "for his contributions to the silicon integrated circuit, a cornerstone of modern electronics." In 1979, he was awarded the National Medal of Science.

He also received Faraday Medal in 1979.
Noyce was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1980.
President Ronald Reagan awarded him the National Medal of Technology in 1987.
