My father met several times Schockley in the 50-1960
He was a semi conductor engineer at Thomson-CSF in France (now ST Microelectronics). He made the first french diodes and transistors in the late 1950 in Grenoble.
Thomson-CSF had a patent agreement with Bell Labs to make transistors.
Part of the agreement was an annual consulting session with Schockley to exchange about manufacturing diodes and transistors. My father never spoke about Schockley's grumpiness.
