Victor Henry Grinich (November 26, 1924 – November 4, 2000) was a pioneer in the semiconductor industry and a member of the "traitorous eight" that founded Silicon Valley.

Early life and education

Born to Croatian immigrant parents, his original surname was Grgurinovic. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, he served in the United States Navy during World War II.{{cn|date=January 2018}} To make his last name easier to pronounce during military roll calls, he officially changed it to "Grinich".{{cn|date=January 2018}}

Grinich received a Bachelor's degree from the University of Washington in 1946 and a Master's degree in 1949, and then earned a Ph.D. in 1951 from Stanford University.[1]

Career

Initially a researcher at SRI International, he worked at the seminal Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory of Beckman Instruments, and then left with other disgruntled members of the "traitorous eight" to create the influential Fairchild Semiconductor corporation.[2]

Among the physicists, mathematicians and metallurgists in the group, Grinich was the only electrical engineer.[3] At Fairchild he set up the test lab and other electronic systems where he was responsible for device characterization and applications. His department grew into the important Fairchild Instrumentation business.{{cn|date=January 2018}}

Grinich left Fairchild in 1968 to study computer science while teaching electrical engineering at UC Berkeley. He later taught at Stanford University as well.[4] In 1975, he published a textbook, Introduction to Integrated Circuits.[5]

In 1978, he was appointed chief executive officer of Identronix, a company that pioneered Radio-frequency identification systems, which are now used extensively in anti-theft tags. In 1985, Grinich founded and became CEO of Escort Memory Systems to commercialize RFID tags for industrial applications. EMS was acquired by Datalogic in 1989.[6]

In 1993, he co-founded Arkos Design, a manufacturer of emulators. The company was acquired by Synopsys in 1995.[7] Grinich retired in 1997 and died of prostate cancer in 2000, three weeks before his 76th birthday.
