Dawon Kahng / 姜大元

Dawon Kahng / 姜大元 is named in 真正改变世界的技术，为什么一开始都不被看好？| S10E16 as one of the Bell Labs researchers associated with the early MOS transistor. The source pairs him with Muhammad Atalla in the story of a technology that was invented before its best industrial use case was obvious.

The episode says the early MOS transistor looked unattractive against BJT devices on stability and speed. Its later advantage came from low cost, small size, and better fit with dense integration.
