Discovery of alpha particle effects on computer chipsAs an engineer, May was most noted for having identified the cause of the "alpha particle problem", which was affecting the reliability of integrated circuits as device features reached a critical size where a single alpha particle could change the state of a stored value and cause a single event upset. May realized that the ceramic packaging that Intel was using, made from clay, was very slightly radioactive.[4][5] Intel solved the issue by increasing the charge in each cell to reduce its susceptibility to radiation[6] and adopting plastic packaging for their products.{{Citation needed|date=April 2014}} May co-authored the 1981 IEEE W.R.G. Baker Award-winning paper "Alpha-Particle-Induced Soft Errors in Dynamic Memories", published in the IEEE Transactions on {{sic|hide=y|Electron Devices}} in January 1979 with Murray H. Woods.[7] Social and political viewsMay was a founding member of, and had been one of the most voluminous contributors to, the Cypherpunks electronic mailing list. He wrote extensively on cryptography and privacy from the 1990s through 2003. May wrote a substantial cypherpunk-themed FAQ, "The Cyphernomicon" (incorporating his earlier piece "The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto");[8] and his essay, "True Nyms and Crypto Anarchy", was included in a reprint of Vernor Vinge's novel True Names. In 2001 his work was published in the book, Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias.[9] May lived as a recluse. His New York Times obituary noted: "He often wrote about arming himself and waiting for government agents to show up. After the Cypherpunks faded in the early 2000s, he began expressing racist sentiments to other online groups".[3] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Greenberg|first=Andy|title=This Machine Kills Secrets: How WikiLeakers, Cypherpunks, and Hacktivists Aim to Free the World's Information|year=2012|publisher=Dutton Adult|isbn=0525953205|pages=384}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.coindesk.com/enough-with-the-ico-me-so-horny-get-rich-quick-lambo-crypto|title=Enough with the ICO-Me-So-Horny-Get-Rich-Quick-Lambo Crypto|last=May|first=Timothy C.|date=2018-10-19|website=CoinDesk|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-11}} 3. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/21/obituaries/timothy-c-may-dead.html|title=Timothy C.
