Jean Hoerni
In the March of 1959 Jean Hoerni invented the planar process. The planar process basically takes the large mass of information in the giant old computers, and compacts it down into a small chip on the circuit board. The new chip provided computers with far lower leakage currents, and also required less fabrication.The planar process has impacted the world by requiring less work when building computers, and also made it easier for people to own/ store computers with their smaller size. The planar process has made an impact of my life by allowing me to have a small, compact computer that fits on a desk instead of filling a whole entire room.I enjoy being able to have my own small computer in computers class that lets me access tons of information through a small machine. Jean Hoerni’splanar process was a huge mile stone for computers in history.
