Biographical Notes

Donald David (Dave) Forsythe joined Fairchild circa 1966 as a Senior Engineer in the Technology Development group reporting to C. Plough where he worked on printing techniques for hybrid ICs. In 1968 he reported to L. Vadasz in the MOS Circuit and Device Technology group. During this time he worked with T. Klein, D. Frohman and F. Faggin on MOS reliability projects. In 1980 he was employed at Synertek and after 1990 at National Semiconductor.
