For a bit of fun I have been researching old transistors but my research has hit a little snag and I was wondering if someone here might be able to help me out…
While it has been easy for me to find data on older transistors I can’t find any information on older first field effect transistor, apart from the fact that it seems while Julius Edgar Lilienfeld came up with the idea for field effect transistors back in 1926 it wasn’t until 1955 that bell labs made one.
However what I am looking for is the date when the first mass-produced field effect transistors were released as well as the part numbers for some of the older field effect transistors?
If anyone happens to know anything about the above questions I would be most thankful if you could tell me what you know.
Thank you in advance.
Dawn.
