Gordon Moore, co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel and the eponymous creator of Moore’s law, passed away on March 24, 2023 at the age of 94.

 

In tribute to his visionary mind and work, we are reviving below an interview he gave EE Times after receiving the EE Times Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award for his lifetime achievement at a ceremony in San Francisco on March 9, 2005. Moore sat down with EE Times editors to discuss the industry’s past, present and future.

 

Thank you, Gordon Moore, for inspiring generations of engineers and paving the way for the future of the semiconductor industry.
