Julius Lilienfeld and Oskar Heil who independently discovered the divices similar to modern transistors well before Bardeen Brattain and Shockley

Oskar Heil

Julius Edgar Lilienfeld

both of them separately patented The Transistor.But failed to pursue further.

The credit went to Shockley,Bardeen, who failed to mention all the references.

Tuning in to the transistor.
Julius Lilenfield.
Oskar Heil.

Brattain, Bardeen and Shockley being the more famous people.

Although, Lilenfield is famous in his own right, for making most of the principles behind MOSFET.

1 Julius Lilienfeld
2 Oskar Heil

Invention of the transistor?

Ultimately, the credit went to Bardeen and Brattain.

Highly ambiguous question if we’re looking at it from a *working version* perspective, why not give credit to Farraday?

julius lilienfield and oskar heil, who independently came up with version of the transistor, which bardeen, shockly and brateen got credit for…

Julius Edgar Lilienfeld (1) and Oskar Heil (2) patented ‘transistor-like’ devices. Shockley (with a little help from Bardeen and Brattain) pockets the credit for being ‘father of the transistor’ though.

Transistor
Julius Edgar Lilienfeld & Oskar Heil patented a similar device.

However, Shockingly William Shockley, who based his work on these two chappies, is called the father of the transistor.

Julius Edgar Lilienfeld and Dr. Oskar Heil. They were the first ones to file patents for the Field Effect Transistor.
William Shockley from Bell Labs is credited for its invention. Along with John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain.
