CEO Interview: Mark Thompson, Fairchild Semiconductor
Dec 31st, 2007 by portabledesign
After inventing the planar semiconductor and giving birth to the semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley, Fairchild Semiconductor has gone on to become a premier power semiconductor company–and more, recently, an active advocate of green technology, an area where it’s well positioned to make some significant contributions.
Portable Design sat down with Fairchild’s CEO Mark Thompson to catch up with his views on portable power, green power, and where the semiconductor industry is headed. The podcast is an excellent primer on all three. The interview will appear in the February, 2008 issue of Portable Design.
