Roberts, C. SheldonBiographical Notes
Cornelius Sheldon Roberts was born in 1926 in Rupert, Vermont. He received a B.S. in metallurgical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, located in Troy, New York in 1948 followed by an M.S. in 1949 and a Ph.D. in 1952 from MIT. He conducted metallurgical research at the Naval Research Lab and the Dow Chemical Company and joined the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View, California, in 1956. With Robert Noyce and others Roberts founded Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in 1957 where his primary focus was on silicon crystal production. He left with Jay Last to found Amelco Semiconductor, a division of Teledyne Inc. in 1961 where he developed solid-state transducers and an epitaxial silicon wafer program. Later Roberts consulted in materials and processes for the aerospace, electronic materials, metals, and microelectronics industries.Publisher
