Applied Materials: Pioneering the Information Age

by Jeffrey L. Rodengen, Karen Nitkin (Editor), Kyle Newton (Illustrator)

From the moment our clock radios wake us in the morning to the time we click off our television at night, we rely on silicon chips smaller than a fingernail and slimmer than a strand of hair. Without Applied Materials, the world's largest supplier of wafer fabrication equipment, technology that we have grown accustomed to -- faxes, computers, cellular phones, the Internet -- would remain science fiction.Filled with lavish illustrations and informative diagrams, this meticulously researched volume examines one of the most dynamic and innovative companies in the world. With a foreword by Gordon Moore, chairman and co-founder of Intel Corporation. Individually boxed.
