- Robert Noyce
- Robert Noyce (Q241735)
- Tom Wolfe, "The Tinkerings of Robert Noyce: How the Sun Rose on the Silicon Valley" (Esquire, December 1983) -- a deeply-reported, independent journalistic profile built on interviews with Noyce and Silicon Valley colleagues. Fully read in this cycle via the Stanford University-hosted reproduction (reproduced by permission of International Creative Management).
- Leslie Berlin, The Man Behind the Microchip: Robert Noyce and the Invention of Silicon Valley (Oxford University Press, 2005) -- independent scholarly biography, drawing on archival research and interviews with Gordon Moore, Andy Grove, and others. Accessed via an IEEE Spectrum review/research-process account of the book (full monograph text not directly opened this cycle), specifically its account of Berlin's archival discovery regarding Noyce's tunnel-diode priority claim.
- Michael S. Malone, The Intel Trinity: How Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove Built the World's Most Important Company (Harper Business, 2014) -- independent biography with unprecedented access to Intel archives and interviews, including Andy Grove's own account of Noyce's conflict-avoidant management behavior. Accessed via a directly-read book review/summary (full text not directly opened this cycle).
- "Arthur Rock's Intel Memo", Stanford Lawyer Magazine -- an account, drawing on Arthur Rock's own 1968 Intel funding memo/prospectus, of how Noyce and Gordon Moore raised Intel's founding capital.
- Computer History Museum, "1959: Practical Monolithic Integrated Circuit Concept Patented" (The Silicon Engine) -- independent institutional archival record of Noyce's planar-integrated-circuit patent (U.S. 2,981,877), filing/issue dates, and technical approach.
- "Oral-History: Robert N. Noyce", Engineering and Technology History Wiki (IEEE) -- a September 19, 1975 recorded interview with Noyce himself. Self-testimony, treated as one perspective, not independent corroboration on its own.
- "The Integrator", MIT Technology Review (October 1, 2005) -- an independent journalistic account (occasioned by Berlin's biography) of Noyce's 1959 notebook entry, the 1964 integrated-circuit pricing decision, and Gordon Moore's own characterization of it.
