A boy from Iowa became one of the central figures in the rise of Silicon Valley. This episode follows a physicist and entrepreneur from his student days at Grinnell and MIT to the creation of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel. Along the way, we explore the integrated circuit, the team behind Intel's first microprocessor, and the industry-wide work Noyce was leading near the end of his life.
