PHLX is the oldest stock exchange in America — having been in operation since 1790.

Philadelphia Stock Exchange ( PHLX ), now known as NASDAQ OMX PHLX, is the oldest stock exchange in the United States, founded in 1790.

In December 1968, in response to a fiscal crisis, Philadelphia imposed a $ 0. 05 per share stock transfer tax for all transactions on the PHLX.

The PHLX has more than 21. 4 % United States market share in exchange-listed stock and ETF options trading.

The country is one of the world's largest and most influential financial markets, home to major stock and commodities exchanges like NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, CME, and PHLX.

The Motorola 68000 is a 16 / 32-bit CISC microprocessor core designed and marketed by Freescale Semiconductor ( formerly Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector ).

AltiVec is a floating point and integer SIMD instruction set designed and owned by Apple, IBM and Freescale Semiconductor, formerly the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola, ( the AIM alliance ), and implemented on versions of the PowerPC including Motorola's G4, IBM's G5 and POWER6 processors, and P. A.

Freescale was one of the first semiconductor companies in the world, having started as a division of Motorola in Phoenix, Arizona in 1949 and then created under the divestiture of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola in 2004.

In 2000, Sanders recruited Héctor Ruiz, at the time the president of Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector, to serve as AMD's president and chief operating officer, and to become heir apparent to lead the company upon Sanders ' retirement.

Semiconductor detectors for high-energy particles are used in large numbers.

Fairchild Semiconductor provided the medium-scale integration ( MSI ) chips used throughout the system.

* The MESFET ( Metal – Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor ) substitutes the p-n junction of the JFET with a Schottky barrier ; used in GaAs and other III-V semiconductor materials.

Semiconductor lasers are typically very small, and can be pumped with a simple electric current, enabling them to be used in consumer devices such as compact disc players.

:* Semiconductor materials and semiconductor devices, for a specialized understanding of the advanced processes used in industry ( e. g. crystal growth techniques, thin-film deposition, ion implantation, photolithography ), their properties, and their integration in electronic devices

Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to create the integrated circuits that are present in everyday electrical and electronic devices.

** Semiconductor used in volatile random-access memory

* Semiconductor material ( date first used ): the metalloids germanium ( 1947 ) and silicon ( 1954 )— in amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline form ; the compounds gallium arsenide ( 1966 ) and silicon carbide ( 1997 ), the alloy silicon-germanium ( 1989 ), the allotrope of carbon graphene ( research ongoing since 2004 ), etc .— see Semiconductor material

Semiconductor rectifiers were familiar devices by the end of World War II, and Shockley hoped to produce a new device that would have a variable resistance and hence could be used as an amplifier.

Semiconductor optical amplifiers are typically made from group III-V compound semiconductors such as GaAs / AlGaAs, InP / InGaAs, InP / InGaAsP and InP / InAlGaAs, though any direct band gap semiconductors such as II-VI could conceivably be used.

** Semiconductor used in volatile RAM microchips

One of the ways they hoped to improve the CDC 1604 was to use better transistors, and Cray used the new silicon transistors using the planar process, developed by Fairchild Semiconductor.

His first book on semiconductors, Physics and Technology of Semiconductor Devices ( 1971 ), has been used by leading universities.

In some early microprocessors such as the National Semiconductor IMP-16 family, a multi-phase clock was used.

Many designers of military and aerospace equipment used this family over a long period and as they need exact replacements, this family is still produced by Lansdale Semiconductor.

First used in a Japanese company ’ s press release dating to 1981, Lattice Semiconductor trademarked the term in 1984 but does not use the term in its marketing materials.

* Freescale Semiconductor makes the PowerPC processors that were used in the pre-Intel Apple Computer notebooks.

Later Dallas Semiconductor made compatible RTCs, which was often used in older personal computers, and are easily found on motherboards because of their distinctive black battery cap and silkscreened logo.

For example, the Data General Nova minicomputer, and the Texas Instruments TMS9900 and National Semiconductor IMP-16 microcomputers used 16 bit words, and there were many 36-bit mainframe computers ( e. g., PDP-10 ) which used 18-bit word addressing, not byte addressing, giving an address space of 2 < sup > 18 </ sup > 36-bit words, approximately 1 megabyte of storage.

Lattice Semiconductor introduced the generic array logic ( GAL ) family in 1985, with functional equivalents of the " V " series PALs that used reprogrammable logic planes based on EEPROM ( electrically eraseable programmable read-only memory ) technology.

Semiconductor saturable absorbers ( SESAMs ) were used for laser mode-locking as early as 1974 when p-type germanium is used to mode lock a CO < sub > 2 </ sub > laser which generated pulses ~ 500 ps.

Semiconductor diode lasers are typically used in plastic welding.

When negotiations with Plessey broke down over stock options, Lamond and Sporck succumbed to Widlar's and Talbert's ( who were already employed at National Semiconductor ) suggestion that they look to National Semiconductor.

Fairchild Semiconductor announced September 6, 2001 the acquisition of Impala Linear Corporation, based in San Jose, California for approximately $ 6 million in stock and cash.

The GSTI Semiconductor Index, or Goldman Sachs Technology Index Semiconductor Index, is a proprietary stock market index.

It represents the weighted average stock price of a number of semiconductor manufacturing companies, including Intel, National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Motorola, Advanced Micro Devices, SanDisk and Analog Devices.

The company is reported to have large investments in transportation, energy, retail, financial and other industries and owns stock in the Hess Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Global Ship Lease, Bluefly, and Lattice Semiconductor.

He made millions on stock options he acquired as a marketing manager for Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, and retired at 32.
