DocumentDescription
Describes several experiments on the out-diffusion of aluminum in FET devices. Proposes mask geometry designs for a “pentode replacement” and other FET devices. [Note: A copy of “Project plan for project #189, field effect transistors” prepared by the author in mid-1961 is inserted into page 88 of Moore LN#2.] Notes an experiment to study “the drift problem of the SCT” – C.T. Sah’s surface controlled transistor. (p. 34). This is one of the earliest Fairchild references to the instability issues that would plague MOS devices for the rest of decade. A pasted-in typed page of the draft of TR 236 (below) (p. 39).Date

Leistiko, Otto, Jr.Biographical Notes
Otto Leistiko, Jr. was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1931. He served with the U. S. Navy Air Force from 1950 to 1954. He received a B.S. degree (college unknown). From circa 1960 to 1966 he worked on diffusion and design of FET devices in the physics section of Fairchild R&D. He collaborated with C. T. Sah and Andy Grove as co-inventor of U.S. patent 3463977 (below). Circa 1966 he joined Hewlett Packard but his signature appears in the notebook Forsythe (551) with a 1971 date. He was later associated with the Technical University of Denmark.Publisher
