TEXAS INSTRUMENTS PRESIDENT SAYS INTEGRATED CIRCUITS OFFER POTEN.T IAL OF BILLION-DOLLAR ANNUAL SAVING IN GOVERNMENT ELECTRONIC COSTS CHICAGO, May 23 - (Special) - P. E. Haggerty, president of Texas Instruments Incorporated, said today that the revolutionary new integrated circuitry approach offers a potential yearly saving of a billion dollars in government electronics expenditures within this decade. Addressing the Investment Analysts Society of Chicago, Mr. Haggerty defined integrated circuitry as a generic term which describes the provision of a complete electronic circuit within a single block of material compared to an assembly of separate components to accomplish an electronic function. Texas Instruments, he added, began work in this field in 1957 with the creation of semiconductor networks. Mr. Haggerty said studies suggest that semiconductor networks today can perform 33% of the circuit functions in government electronics; that the percentage will increase to 50% by 1965 and to at least 75% by 1968. 11

Estimates of total government electronics expenditures in an annual

range of $10 to $15 billion within this decade and projections of costs of integrated circuitry in the same general time span suggest a potential $ I billion saving with these devices, 11 he said.

He stressed that this was a potential saving. 11

I am not predicting it necessarily will be achieved, 11 he said.

11

I do

feel the probabilities are good that we will achieve the additional scientific knowledge, materials, device, and circuit technology to allow us to make the necessary technical and economic gains in manufacturing processes basic to the realization of this potential saving. 11 Mr. Haggerty said that hand in hand with the cost saving potential go the equally important advantages to be gained of greater product reliability and inherently more complex tasks which these devices can be expected to perform. He said further that the integrated circuit approach would make it possible for the approximately 155,000 U . S. scientists and engineers enga ged in electronics to spend more of their time on more complex tasks and thus make available increased technological talent.

This increased talent is unlikely

to be provided by training increased numbers of persons in the field without seriously affecting other important aspects of the nation's social and economic structure, he said. Mr. Haggerty said Texas Instruments, "to ensure our position as the leader in integrated circuits, 11 had increased expenditures during 1962 and to date in 196 3 to expand facilities and capabilities for development and production of semiconductor networks.

He said he believed that integrated circuits would

make a strong and profitable contribution to TI' s operations beginning, perhaps, in 1964. (more)

Page three Chicago Investment Analysts

Regarding total TI performance, Mr. Haggerty told the analysts that for the year as a whole he was confident there would be an improvement over 1962 in both sales billed and earnings.

He said Tl's manufacturing

backlog on May 1 was $125 million, highest in company history and 14% higher than the $110 million backlog at year-end 1962.

TI TO TEST NEW CIVIL DEFENSE SIREN AT EXPRESSWAY SITE FRIDAY NOON; IO-MINUTE SIGNAL MAY BE HEARD THROUGHOUT RICHARDSON-NORTH DALLAS AR.EA DALLAS, May Z 3 --(Special)-- If you live in the vicinity of the Texas Instrument,

13500 North Central Expressway site, don't be alarmed Friday noon (May 24) if you hear sounds like most of the police and fire sirens in the city starting qp at one time. It will mean merely that TI is having a successful test run of its powerful new Civil Defense siren. The test, which will begin precisely at lZ noon Friday, and last for about 10 minutes, will be conducted in cooperation with the Dallas County Civil Defense program. TI1 s siren will run through its repertoire of three standardized Civil Defense signals, each requiring three minutes to complete.

The "Alert'' signal, the first to be soupded, is a continuous double tone.

It will be followed by '' Talce Cover,'' a warbling double tone.

The final

signal in the sequence is 11 All Clear," which is made up pf alternating hiah and low tones. Col. Boise B, Smith, director of the Office of the Dallas City-County Civil Defense and Disaster Commission, will assist TI plant security people in the test.

Although the audible ra"Qge of the TI i,ircm will be affected by wind (more)

Page two Civil Defense Siren Test

and atmospheric conditions, Col. Smith expects it to be heard throughout the Richardson-North Dallas area. Public officials, fire and police departments, and school adtninistrators have been notified that the test will be conducted Friday noon.

In addition, switch-

board operators in the area have been alerted to answer calls that may come in from any persons with questions regarding the test. The siren was purchased by Texas Instruments to supplement its over-all Civil Defense and safety program.

According to Col. Smith, only

one other industrial firm in the Dallas area has a privately-owned Civil Defense siren--the Ford Motor Company assembly plant at 5200 East Grand. About 40 fire stations in the Dallas area are equipped with Civil Defense sirens jointly purchased by the City of Dallas and the federal government.

TI TO MARKET NEW SILICON MATERIAL MADE BY EXCLUSIVE PROCESS; WILL CONVERT THIRD OF MATERIAL PLANT CAPACITY BY YEAR-END DALLAS, May 31 --(Special}-- Texas Instruments Incorporated announced today that its Material & Controls divi sion has developed an exclusive new process for the manufacture of extremely high grade silicon semiconductor crystals which will be marketed worldwide under the name ,·, Lop ex. 11 * Silicon crystals are used in the manufacture of transistors, diodes and other semiconductor devices . Vice President E. O. Vetter said Tl's Dallas materials plant, which has the industry's largest output of semiconductor silicon, began converting to the new process several months ago after more than four years of research. He estimated that by the end of 1963 the Lopex crystal process would account for a third or more of the total TI silicon semiconductor crystal production. "The proprietary process yields crystals that approach the ultimate in uniformity of atomic crystalline structure, 11 Mr. Vetter said.

"This reduces

important material variables for our customers, the semiconductor device manufacturers, and is expected to contribute importantly to their production efficiencies. 11 Ralph Stroup, manager of TI 1 s Materials & Sensors department, said the new process combines some of the techniques of the two other manufacturing

processes now in general use--"Float Zone" and "Crucible Pull"--and. retains the most desirable characteristics of crystals derived from each of them. Mechanical details of the Lopex crystal process are not being disclosed at this time. Stroup pointed out that, from a device manufacturer's viewpoin.t , the ideal semiconductor material would have (1) a high degree of crystalline perfection, (2) uniform elect:-ical conductivity across the crystal slice, and (3)

minimum oxygen content. Stroup said Crucible Pull crystals typically excel in the first characteristic, but are relatively poor in the latter two.

Conversely, Float Zone crystals are

relatively poor in the first characteristic, but excel in the latter two. Thus, device manufacturers have found it necessary, he said, to "trade off" advantages of one type crystal against another, depending on the specific application of their product.

"Now, with the development of Lopex crystals,

device manufacturers have available a material that combines the best features of both conventional type crystals. 11 As a result of this combination, Lop ex crystals rank high in a characteristic called "minority carrier lifetime. 11

This

is particularly important to transistor manufacturers, Stroup said, because it can often mean their devices achieve more amplification with a given amount of electrical current. Evaluation quantities of Lopex crystals have been widely sampled by the industry since November, 1962, at prices ranging up to $10 per gram.

Although

this represented premium prices, Stroup said demand had increased and the (more)

Page three Lopex

material now would be sold for $2. 90 per gram.

This already is competitive

in price with premium-grade conventional Float Zone crystals. 11

Based on our initial customer response and our own departmental research, 11

Stroup continued, "I consider this the most important development in silicon crystal production TI has introduced since it started supplying semiconductor material to the industry six years ago. 11

ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL IN'FORMA TION Lopex is available in all resistivity ranges with minority carrier lifetimes guaranteed greater than 1000 microseconds for resistivities over 50 ohm-centimeters. Maximum lifetimes are the highest ever reported in the industry (up to 8000 microseconds).

Dislocation densities are so low that they typically are non-detectable

with presently-used measuring techniques.

Radial resistivity gradients are

extremely low--plus or minus 2 to 12 per cent--depending on resistivity, conductivity type, and diameter.

Lopex crystals are immediately available in

production quantities in diameters up to 1. 1 inches. will be made available, if required.

3 - - GSI Student Conference

Since few colleges have geophysical summer camps, the GSI program gives the students what might be their only opportunity to do actual field work while still in college.

Students must pass rigid scholastic requirements and

must have a faculty recommendation. Each year the 15 to 20 college juniors, seniors and graduate students who take part in the program are picked from several hundred applicants.

Nearly

275 students have participated since inception of the plan in 1951. The summer cooperative plan was originated by Cecil H. Green, honorary board chairman of GSI, and Dr. Robert R. Shrock, head of the Department of Geology and Geophysics of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Explaining the aims of the summer cooperative plan, Mr. Green commented: "We hope to generate increased awareness in geophysics as a profession by promoting closer cooperation between industry, government agencies and the academic world, and to give the student a sense of direction by permitting him to gain actual field experience in geophysical exploration."

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS RECEIVES TFX SUBCONTRACT FROM GENERAL DYNAMICS DALLAS, June 11--(Special}-- A contract for more than 3 million dollars was awarded to Texas Instruments Incorporated today for development of an electronic subsystem for the F-111 (TFX) tactical fighter. Thomas D. Dean, chief of F-111 procurement, headed a group of management representatives from General Dynamics, Fort Worth, who visited Tl's Apparatus division plant at 6000 Lemmon Avenue, to formally announce the award, The F-111 is a completely new bi-service aircraft that combines many unique performance characteristics.

An unusual design feature is the variable

sweep wing, which provides good handling characteristics during landings and takeoffs with wings spread wide, and also allows long range and supersonic speeds with the hinged wings folded back against the fuselage. The subsystem to be provided by Texas Instruments helps give the F-111 an all-weather, day-night, low-altitude penetration capability by performing the functions of terrain following and obstacle avoidance.

NEW HIGH-FREQUENCY SILICON POWER TRANSISTOR ANNOUNCED BY TEXAS INSTRUMENTS DALLAS, June 24 -- High gain at high frequencies is the major advantage cited for a new series of 50-watt power transistors announced by Texas Instruments. Designated 2Nl723 and 2Nl725, the new triple-diffused silicon mesa devices feature a guaranteed minimum hfE of 50 at VcE = 15 volts, le= 2 amperes and a minimum fT of 10 megacycles. These characteristics make the two units industry's highest gain high-frequency, single-element silicon power transistors. Other important electrical characteristics include: low collector cutoff current 0cEs = 100 microamps at VcE = 30 volts), low emitter cutoff current (EEso=lO0 microamps at VCB = 3 volts), maximum VCE(sat) of 1 volt at IC = 2 amps, and maximum VBE of 2 volts at le = 2 amps. The 2N1723 is available in the compact JEDEC TO-53 package; the 2N1725, in a 1/4inch stud configuration.

Both packages provide a low thermal resistance of l .5°C/watt,

maximum, for low junction temperatures and reliable operation. The new high-gain power series is designed for military, space and industrial communications and instrumentation usage. Typical applications include de-de converters and powersupply voltage regulators. Used as an RF amp Iifier in the common-base configuration, either of the new units will deliver 12 watts or more with a minimum gain of 6db at 10 mega eye Ies .

THREE NEW PACKAGE CONFIGURATIONS, PRICE REDUCTION ANNOUNCED BY TI FOR 2Nl038 - SERIES POWER TRANSISTORS

DALLAS, June 24 - - The introduction of three new special packages has extended to six the package choices on Texas Instruments 2Nl038-series germanium power transistors .

Concurrently, an across -the -board price reduction of up to 43 per -

cent was announced for the series effective July 1. Added to the standard TO-11 can and flange and stud heat sinks are a stud device with welded lugs, a cylindrical female stud package and a radial fin, free -air radiative adaptor. The TO-11 can provides power dissipation of 400 milliwatts; flange and stud heat sinks, 20 watts at 25°C case temperature; and the radial-fin design, 1. 5 watts in free air.

This represents industry's highest power -to-size ratio

1n germanium power transistors, according to TI engineers. The new radial-fin free-air package is described as ideal for highdensity circuitry and well suited for automatic insertion.

TI TO DEVELOP INTEGRATED SHIPBOARD SUR VEY SYSTEM FOR OCEANOGRAPHIC OFFICE

DALLAS - - A prototype shipboard oceanographic survey system which will electronically measure and record five variables simultaneously while the ship is underway and an additional five variables while the ship is "on station" will be developed by Texas Instruments Incorporated under a $1. 9 million contract to the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office. TI Vice President R. C. Dunlap, Jr., said the Geosciences department of TI' s Science Services division will design, install, test and evaluate the system during the next 18 months. Dunlap said his division's long experience in collecting scientific data at sea would be the basis for developing a "user-oriented" system which would make precise integrated measurements in a manner be st suited to supporting the nation's current 10-year oceanographic program.

The manner in which the data

will be collected and recorded will reduce to a minimum the pas sibility of human error formerly encountered in data which was manually collected and recorded. Automated to a maximum extent, the system will, while the ship is underway:

monitor seismic information from the ocean floor and underlying sediments;

collect and record data on the earth's gravity and magnetic fields; provide bottomtracking information; and detect variations in temperature at the sea-surface interface and in the water itself.

• more -

. 2 - - Shipboard Survey System

Measurements to be made while the ship is on station include the recording of sound velocity, ambient light, salinity, temperature and varying (controllable) depth.

All information will b,! relayed Lo a central control and computer facility

aboard ship via electronic data links.

Measurements will be recorded with respect

to the ship 1 s exact position and to the time of sampling. The data processing and computing facility will consist of a digital computer, strip chart r eco rJ ~ rs, magnetic recorders and a digital plotter.

Tied to

the cenlral control facility, but locateu on the bridge, will be visual in-line alphanumeric displays to provide an immediate check on the physical position of the sensors and their cables in the water. Each sensor can be calibrated within the ship 1 s computer system without interrupting the required continuity of the data.

The magnitude of each correction

is determined by substituting a precision input voltage and comparing the resulting output with the expected output.

The difference is stored in the computer and

applied lineally to each sensor reading. Project officer for the Oceanographic Office will be Edward W.

TI TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGIT AL SEISMOMETER FOR NUCLEAR TEST DETECTION

DALLAS -- Texas Instruments Incorporated has been awarded a research evaluation contract for the direct digitizing seismometer it developed under a prior contract from the Electronic Systems Di vision, Air Force Systems Command, Bedford, Massachusetts. The $101,590 award, also from the Air Force Systems Command, was announced by R. C. Dunlap, Jr., TI vice president in charge of the Science Services division, whose Geosciences department will carry out the work over a sevenmonth period. The seismometer, which converts ground movement signals directly into digital format for input to electronic computers, was designed and developed by the Geosciences department during 1962-63.

Total value of the two contracts

is $268, 590. The work is part of Project VELA UNIFORM, a program of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for seismic detection of underground nuclear explosions. Cognizant agency is the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. Under the new contract, the seismometer will be tested to define its operating and environmental characteristics and to determine its capabilities as a digital recording seismometer in the VELA UNIFORM program.

• more -

2 --- Digital Seismometer

The system's frequency response, dynamic range, resolution, linearity and instrument noise will be measured and evaluated through computer analysis of digital field recordings. The extent to which this broad-band, wide dynamic range and high-resolution system can replace conventional seismograph systems also will be determined via computer analysis of the recorded data. Conventional analog methods of sensing and recording seismic signals from nuclear explosions and earthquakes require extensive translation of data before application of computer analysis techniques.

Direct digital recording will

eliminate this step. The digital seismometer will be field tested at the U.S. Survey Seismological Laboratory, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
