TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TO DEDICATE NEW SEMICONDUCTOR-COMPONENTS PLANT USING SIGNAL FROM SPACE; DR. JAMES R. KILLIAN 'ID DELIVER ADDRESS DALLAS, May 28--(Special)--Texas Instruments Incorporated will dedicate its new 310,000 sq ft plant of revolutionary design for the manufacture of transistors and other semiconductor devices on a 3OO-acre site on Monday, June 23, by using the signal from the American satellite Explorer II to cut the traditional ribbon. TI-made transistors are playing an important role in the instrumen­ tation of the orbitting satellite. Erik Jonsson, Chairman of the Board, and Patrick E. Haggerty, President, announced today that Dr. James R. Killian, Chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on Science, will make the dedicatory address. Dr. Killian, who is on leave from the presidency of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also will press the button which will complete the circuit activating the electronic ribbon-cutting device with a predetermined 11 beep 11 signal from the satellite. Texas Instruments enjoys a leading position in the design and produc­ tion of transistors and related devices; through its Apparatus division is an important supplier of complex electronic and electromechanical apparatus and systems for the defense of the nation; and through its Geophysical Service family of wholly-owned subsidiaries represents the world's largest contract geophysical exploration activity. (more)

page 2 ti dedicates plant; killian delivers address

The outdoor ceremony at the main entrance to the building will be the highlight of Monday--Civic Day--in the 3-day plant opening program. Sunday, June 22, has been designated TI Family Day when Texas Instruments employees and their families will preview the new facility.

Tuesday, June 24,

will be Industry and Technology Day and the program has been designed as a salute and tribute to the semiconductor industry which in ten years has forged to a place on the frontiers of modern science. Featuring the Tuesday program will be a symposium on the theme: Decade of Semiconductors:

"A

An Appraisal and Projection." The keynote address

will be given by M.J. Kelly, President of Bell Laboratories, Inc., where the first transistor was developed in 1948. TI President Haggerty will be chairman of the program. Ranking authori­ ties from such major fields of semiconductor development and usage as the military, entertainment, and industrial areas will participate in a review of the science's progress to date and a projection of its probable future. Attendance on all three days of the plant opening program will be by invitation. The new plant, located on the 300-acre tract in northeast Dallas, represents an expansion of the company's facilities and houses the Semiconductor­ Components division.

It is the first of

a number of buildings planned for the

site to serve research, manufacturing, and administrative functions.

(more)

page 3 ti dedicates new plant; killian delivers address

The building itself, exclusive of equipment and site, represents an investment by Texas Instruments of more than $5,000,000.

It has been

described by leading architects and engineers as the most modern and flexible manufacturing facility in the entire electronics industry. Its most revolutionary design features are a 9-ft space frame between the two floors and a roof of thin-shell concrete in hyperbolic­ paraboloid-shaped units. Within the space frame are contained all utility and servicing facilities which are fed directly to point of need on either the second-floor manufacturing area or first-floor engineering and adminis­ trative area through apertures in the space frame ceiling and floor. The combination of the two features permitted spacing the building's supporting columns 63 ft apart, thus providing exceptionally broad, uncluttered areas on both floors. Extensive use was made of prestressed or precast concrete members in the construction of the building which is faced with Georgia marble. The hollow supporting pillars carry the conditioned air from units within the space frame. Two open-air garden courts in the center of the building lend beauty to the interior.

Around the perimeter of the courts is a glassed-in

corridor which permits viewing of all manufacturing operations without intrusion into working areas. The open garden courts are within view from all areas on both flo~rs.

page 4 ~i dedicates new plant; killian delivers address

Completion of the new Semiconductor-Components division plant brings to more than 6oo,ooo sq ft the total of Tl's owned facilities.

This includes

the company's 254,000 sq ft main plant at 6000 Lemmon Avenue, Dallas now occupied by Central Research Laboratory and the Apparatus division, and a modern 40 1 000

sq ft plant in Houston, Texas, which houses the Industrial Instrumentation division where instruments and equipments are designed and manufactured principully for the geophysical exploration industry. For its first venture in manufacturing outside the trnited States, Texas Instruments opened a new plant last year in Bedford, :England, where semiconductor devices are produced for sale throughout the sterling area. Including the Bedford facility, TI leases approximately 160,000 sq ft of space for warehouses, shops and offices in Dallas and elsewhere in this country and at strategic points throughout the world.

THREE REQUIREMEN TS FOR A NATIONAL SCIENCE POLICY ARE OUTLINED BY PRESIDENT'S SCIENCE ADVISOR AT TEXAS INSTRUMENTS PLANT OPENING DALLAS, J\!ne 23 --(Specfal) -- Three requirements for a n·ational science policy which would help keep the United States strong militarily ·a nd economically while contributing to its intellectual and spiritual vigor, were listed today by Dr. James R. Killian, Chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on Science, in an address at dedication ceremonies for a new Texas Instruments Incorporated manufacturing plant. Detained at the eleventh hour by urgent and important m ·a tters that prevented his leaving Washington, Dr. Killian delivered his address over special leased wire from his office in the nation's capital.

It was he·a rd over a public address system

by the audience at the dedic.ation. 'I'.he speaker listed the requirements for a national science policy as: 1.

Adaption "as recommended by the President" of "the organization

and management of our military research and development to keep pace with the rapid changes in military technology. II 2.

"Achievement of a gre·a ter emphasis on the qualitative aspects of our

national research effort. II 3.

"To proclaim the importance of maintaining and increasing research

a nd development in a time of rec e ss i on such as we now experience." (more)

Dr. Killfan also recommended a clarification of the relation between science and economic progress.

He s ·a id:

"Especially do we need more refined quantitative measures of the economic forces generated by rese'a rch, of the relation between research and profits I return on research investment, the relation between research and productivity, and the contribution of re search to the gross national product. II He said there were certain areas of both pure ·a nd applied scientific research where there is inadequate planning and which would benefit from national planning. In c·a lling for a change in the org·a niz.a tion and management of military research and development, Dr. Killian said he was "an ardent a.dvoc·a te of the reorganization proposals which President Eisenhower has ma.de for the Department of Defense.

It

is of transcendent importance, as the President has emphasized, that our princip.a l military objectives be clearly defined and that ea.ch of them have strong and clearly focused scientific ·a nd technical support." Following Dr. Killian's address, the traditional ribbon cutting to formally open the plant was performed by Dr. Walter H. Brattain, of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., one of the co-inventors of the transistor, and Mark Shepherd, Jr., Vice President of Texas Instruments in charge of the Semiconductor-Components division, which is housed in the 310,000 sq ft structure.

Earnings ,

they predicted , should approxim ate $1. 40-$1. 45 per share, compare d to $1. 11 per share in 1957.

The 1958 estimate represen ts an increase of more than 25%

over 1957 results. The comp.a ny has no plans for additional financing at the present time, the report said. (m o re )

Second-quarter results were well ahead of the 1957 equivalent quarter's with sales billed at an all-time high for any quarter.

Moving costs and a moderate

decline in geophysical activity held earnings somewhat below the preceding quarter's.

Both sales and earnings for the 1958 second-quarter and 6-month

periods, in addition to being well ahead of 195 7 1 s second-quarter ·a nd 6-month results, were more than double✓ those for comp.a rable 195 6 periods. Substantial expenses were incurred in moving the SemiconductorComponents division's activities into its new 310,000 sq ft plant, which was dedicated June 23 and now is in full operation, and in rearranging the company's Lemmon Avenue plant which now is occupied completely by the Apparatus division and the Central Research Laboratory. The new plant of the Semiconductor-Components division will permit it to operate at new high levels and with increased efficiency.

Plans have been

NEW SOLID STATE TEMPERATURE PROBE ANNOUNCED BY TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED LOS ANGELES, August 19- -(Special)- -The immediate commercial availability of a new SENSISTOR temperature probe, another unique application of silicon, was announced today at the WESCON Show by Texa's Instruments Incorporated. Featuring a positive temperature coefficient that results in a constant rate of change on the order of 0. 7%/°C along a retraceable curve, the new TI sensing device is encased in a glass package only 0. 078 inch in diameter and 0. 500 inch in length.

This small size coupled with such a large temperature

coefficient of resistance enables the SENSISTOR probe to indicate quickly and accurately temperature changes by measuring the resistance in a mass and recording this resistance as a temperature indication.

These characteristics

are ideal for applications such as telemetering, liquid fuel temperature measurement, and other military and industrial circuitry requiring high reliability and performance over wide temperature ranges. To insure stability and tracking of paired units from a temperature as low as that of liquid rocket fuel and up to 200°c, the SENSISTOR temperature probe is made from a silicon crystal with a mono-crystalline (more)

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS ANNOUNCES AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF 78,500 SQ FT BUILDING TO HOUSE CENTRAL RESEARCH LABORATORY DALLAS, August 30 - (Special) - Award of a contract for constructing a 78,500 sq ft building to house the Central Research Laboratory of Texas Instruments Incorporated to Robert E. McKee General Contractor, Inc., was announced today by TI President P. E. Haggerty. The building will be the second in a group to be erected on TI 1 s 300-acre North Central Expressway site and will be located near the recently-completed TI Semiconductor-Components division manufacturing plant.

It will cost

approximately $3, 000, 000 exclusive of the land. Upon completion of the building early in 1959, the Central Research activities will be moved from the Lemmon Avenue plant, thus freeing that build­ ing for complete occupancy by the Apparatus division with which it now is shared. Because all fields of activity in which TI engages are of a high technical content, research and the corollary efforts of development and engineering have played vital roles in Tl's continued growth and progress.

This is reflect-

ed by the increased annual expenditures for research, development and engineering - - what TI calls its "Total Technical Effort." These amounted Lo $4, 000, 000 in 1955; $6, 000, 000 in 1956; and $9,500, 000 in 1957.

This year TI

is spending approximately $16,250,000 for these purposes, about half of it supported by contracts. (more)

In addition to its Central Research Laboratory, where long-term research is emphasized, Texas Instruments maintains research, development and engineer­ ing activity in each of its product divisions - - Semiconductor-Components, Apparatus, Industrial Instrumentation, and the GSI group of wholly-owned subs idiar ie s. Nearly 30% of Tl's more than 6, 000 employees have college degrees, mostly in science and engineering fields. Architects for the new Central Research Laboratory building are O'Neil Ford of San Antonio and Richard Col~ey of Corpus Christi, with A. B. Swank, Dallas, and S. B. Zisman, San Antonio, as associates.

They designed

the new 310, 000 sq ft Semiconductor-Components division plant which was dedicated last June 23. The research building will be of steel, masonry, and glass construction. Its design will be in keeping with the nature of the activity it will house.

The

building will consist of three 42-by-462 ft connected one-story-and-basement wings, each on a different level to match the 7% grade of the sloping terrain. The wings will run east-west. Between the wings will be two-story building blocks of similar construction.

These blocks, located on two main north-south corridors, will

provide transistion between levels and will house library, cafeteria, elevators, stairs, toilet facilities, and mechanical room.

(more)

page three contract for construction

Floors and roofs will consist of reinforced lightweight concrete slabs. Perimeter columns supporting the roof will rise outside the floor area, thus freeing the window wall of columnar interruption.

East and west exposure walls

will be of brick while north and south exposures will consist of fixed glass modular window walls with lower panels of porcelain enamel inside and anodized aluminum outside. Air conditioning equipment

and utility installations will be located in

the basement areas for under-the-floor distribution through the floor slab. Lighting will be of fluorescent type and the building will be protected from fire by a sprinkler system. Tl's Semiconductor-Components division is the leading manufacturer of transistors and other semiconductor devices.

Its Apparatus division is an

important supplier of complex electronic and electromechanical systems for defense and civil government agencies.

Its Industrial Instrumentation division

manufactures instruments and equipments for various industries, including the petroleum industry, and its GS! subsidiaries comprise the world's foremost supplier of contract services in geophysical exploration for oil.

Texas

Instruments expects total sales for 1958 to be slightly in excess of $ 85, 000, 000.

TEXAS INSTRUM ENTS TO DEMONS TRATE GROWIN G OF MAN-MA DE CRYSTA LS LARGER THAN NATURE 'S JEWELS DURING AIR POWER PANORA MA

i DALLAS , Sept. 22 - (Special) - Crystals purer, larger, and as perfect as nature's related diamonds , sapphire s, and rubies, will be grown by Texas Instrume nts Incorpor ated on the exhibit floor of the Municipa l Auditoriu m during the Air Force Associat ion's 1958 Air Power Panoram a Septembe r 25-28. This will be the first time that this closely guarded manufact uring process has been displayed before the general public. The crystals will be grown in a TI-design ed and built "crystal pulling'' machine located within the Texas Instrume nts exhibit booths. From each such crystal grown, more than 1,000 lighter-f lint-size d bars or wafers can be cut, each one of which will form the heart of a transisto r or a related semicond uctor device such as a rectifier or diode. Bigger crystals, the world's largest, measurin g eight inches in diamete r, also are being grown on machines at TI's new 310,000 sq ft Semicond uctor -Compon ents division plant at 135 00 North Central Express way. These are then ground and polished by Tl's Apparatu s division in its plant at 6000 Lemmon for use as infrared eyes to guide U . S. missiles and rockets to their targets. (more)

In addition to the TI Semiconductor ~Components divi sion s display of crystal - growing and resultant products, the TI Apparatus division will be represented at the Air Power Panorama with an exhibit featuring animated I

displays highlighting the division I s role in the nation s defense.

This division

designs and manufactures complete electronic and electromechan ical systems, includi ng both ground and airborne radar, sonar , magnetic, infrared, telemetering, intercommunic ation , and other systems. Texas Instruments uses two materials, silicon and germanium, in growing the crystals required to form the vital elements within the semiconductor devices it manufactures.

Silicon transistors primarily are used

in applications involving extreme environmental conditions such as in industry 1 s

11

electronic brain 11 computers and in the huge guided missiles

currently soaring from their test pads at Cape Canaveral , Fla. These missiles require devices for amplifying, switching, and power handling which are capable of stable operation in extremely high temperatures and desp it e tremendous vibration.

Only silicon transistors meet such demanding

performance and rel i ability requirements . TI manufactures the silicon it uses in growing crystals and the mate ri al i s among the purest materials known to man, with impurities measured i n b ut a few parts per billion.

It pioneered the development of

the silicon trans i stor and first introduced the devi ces to industry in 1954. (more)

page thre e growing of man-mad e crystals

Today it leads the industry in silicon transisto r productio n. Germani um transisto rs, because their performa nces are adequate for such purposes and because of their generally lower price level, are used in commerc ial applicati ons and in radio receiver s.

Tl's germaniu m

transisto rs made possible the first fully transisto rized portable radio and the majority of those made since use the Tl devices.

From these super-crystals - world's largest of their type huge infrared lenses are made. They extend the range of infra­ red devices into broader regions than ever before .. . open vast new areas of inquiry for industry, medicine, and national defense. For example, man will be able to "see" far distant planes, missiles, and other vehicles ... without being "seen"! TI teamwork makes these products possible. The mammoth crystals are grown by the Semiconductor-Components division ... also producer of smaller crystals used in transistor, diode, and rectifier manufacture. Optical lenses are ground from the large crystals by Tl's Optics division, Wm. I. Mann Co.

Above and beyond the primary management functions of long-range planning of products, organization, facilities, and financing, Tl's Creative Management integrates the efforts of all management groups . . . as diagrammed on the opposite page. In supporting the creed "Tl's people are its most important asset," management constantly strives to maintain an atmosphere in which people in all these groups have the maximum desire to produce. The individual is encouraged to accept responsibility and is given authority commensurate with that responsibility. Deci­ sions - whether they concern policies or procedures, products or methods - are

. . . accessible to all. And within this organizational frame­ work, deliberate channels of cross communication are estab­ lished - at all levels - for planning and operating. This enables quick and smooth changes in operation when neces­ sary, and builds a strong awareness of inter-dependence throughout the entire organization.
