Julius Blank is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — Fairchild Semiconductor co-founder — one of the 'traitorous eight' who left Shockley and built the machine that built Silicon Valley.
Youngest child of Jewish immigrants Charles and Gussie Blank, raised on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Julius Blank was the mechanical engineer among the 'traitorous eight' who left William Shockley in 1957 to found Fairchild Semiconductor. He built the machine shop and production equipment on which the first commercial silicon transistors — and thus the Valley itself — were made. Everything else in Silicon Valley descends from that workshop.
