It was at Bell Labs that I first made direct contact with real semiconductor experts and thus began to fully understand what amazing materials they were and what they could do.

All the action, in semiconductors at the present time is in the new consumer applications, and that's where we have focused our activities since we started doing our own products in the late '90s.

I still love the semiconductor industry.

We have been a fabless semiconductor company for a number of years now.

They were the largest semiconductor maker in the world up until about 1980. I'm not sure that that can be re-gained again, but their progress in the last few years has been very impressive.

When I understood the rudiments of what nanotech was all about, I knew I wanted to participate.

Well, I think first of all, probably the most fundamental thing is that we are a mixed-signal analog semiconductor company, which, along with some of the other well-known names in the industry, enjoys very good economics.

When you're the first guy to put out the piece of silicon that's half as expensive or twice as powerful, you bring a capability to the market that nobody else does - or can.

I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.

Consumer electronics is a challenging one.
