Preserving semiconductor history

Thanks to the generous support of alumni who studied under Professors Nick Holonyak Jr . and Greg Stillman in the old Electrical Engineering Research Lab ( EERL ), MNTL created a dynamic display in the building ’ s atrium in 2016 to showcase the scientific giants whose breakthroughs helped launch the information technology revolution , and ultimately made a facility like MNTL a necessity . This display aims to educate and encourage our students to strive to meet the high standards set by the likes of John Bardeen , Jack Kilby , C . T . Sah , and Nick Holonyak Jr .
