From HandWiki
Short description: U.S. semiconductor company
General Microelectronics (GMe) was an American semiconductor company in the 1960s. It was acquired in 1966 by Philco-Ford.[1]
With Frank Wanlass as director of research and engineering, GMe was the first company to design, fabricate, and sell MOS integrated circuits.[2]
The first MOS chips were small-scale integrated chips for NASA satellites.[2]
In 1964, Wanlass demonstrated a single-chip 16-bit shift register he designed, with an incredible (for the time) 120 transistors on a single chip.[3][2]
