The link for RCA in your The Ten Most Influential Companies In Semiconductors does not give a hostory of the Radio Corporation of America but the Radio Club of America.

Thanks Jack - I've fixed that link to point to a relevant Wikipedia entry with a good history.

The RCA link points to the right RCA, but is mainly focussed on the music business. RCA was a leader in metal gate CMOS technology, pursuing it when most other companies weren't interested. I think GE brought it to death, as they did the old Intersil, and Calma, on their respective acquisitions. PE people are not the only innovation-killers!
And surely a place should be found for Schockley Semiconductor in the evolution of the technology. (if decidedly not the political and social positions of it's leaders).
