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 [[MOSFET|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 [[BipolarJunctionTransistor|BJT]] devices on stability and speed. Its later advantage came from low cost, small size, and better fit with dense integration.
