ELECTRONICS PIONEER ROBERT NOYCE DIES

Robert Noyce, who revolutionized electronics by co-inventing the semiconductor, died Sunday of a heart attack. He was 62.

Working separately in the late 1950s, Noyce and Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit, which made possible rapid gains in computer power by putting the power of multiple transistors on a single chip.

The Silicon Valley pioneer also was one of the founders of Intel Corp., the nation's third-largest semiconductor producer.
