In 1955, William Bradford Shockley, the "father of transistors", left Bill's Laboratory to establish Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. He has attracted many talented young scientists to join him. But soon, Shockley's management method and strange behavior caused dissatisfaction among employees. Eight of them decided to resign together: Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, Julius Blank, Eugene Kleiner, Jean Hoerni, Jay Last, Sheldon Roberts And Victor Grinick. Later, they were called "eight rebels" by Shockley. Eight people accepted the financial support from Fairchild Camera and Instrument in New York, and founded Fairchild Semiconductor Company in 1957; -
In 1979, Fairchild (then called Fairchild Camera and Instrument) was acquired by Schlumberger Limited and privatized; -
In 1980, Fairchild Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research (FLAIR) began to operate under the framework of Fairchild Research; -
In 1985, FLAIR was separated from Schlumberger Limited to establish Schlumberger Palo Alto Research (SPAR); -
In 1987, Schlumberger Limited sold Fairchild (excluding Fairchild testing department and Schlumberger Palo Alto Research) to National Semiconductor (later acquired by Texas Instruments) for US $200 million; -
On November 27, 1997, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation acquired Raytheon (Raytheon Corporation), the transaction was completed on December 31, 1997; -
In December 1998, Fairchild Semiconductor purchased the power supply division of Samsung with US $450 million, and the transaction was completed in April 1999; -
In August 1999, Fairchild Semiconductor renewed IPO , log on to NYSE, stock code: FCS; -
On March 19, 2001, Xiantong Semiconductor announced that it would acquire the company with US $338 million Intersil Corporation Independent power supply business; -
On September 6, 2001, Fairchild Semiconductor announced that it would acquire Impala Linear Corporation in California for US $6 million; -
On September 1, 2007, Anadigics, a RF semiconductor supplier in New Jersey, acquired the RF design team of Fairchild Semiconductor with US $2.4 million; -
In April 2011, Xiantong Semiconductor acquired TranSiC, a Swiss silicon carbide power transistor company; -
On November 18, 2015, ON Semiconductor (ON Semiconductor) announced that it would spend $2.4 billion in cash to acquire Fairchild Semiconductor at $20 per share; -
On February 16, 2016, Fairchild Semiconductor rejected a higher offer (2.6 billion dollars) from China Resources Microelectronics and Beijing Qingxin Huachuang, and chose American Sammy Semiconductor (ON Semiconductor)。
