Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Brattain, Walter Houser (1902-1987), an American physicist, shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956 with his colleagues John Bardeen and William Shockley for inventing the transistor, which ushered in the era of microminiature electronic parts and led to today's computers. Upon arrival at Becker's lab in New York City in summer 1929, Brattain began working with copper-oxide rectifiers. A rectifier is a device for changing alternating current into direct current. Brattain and Becker hoped to use copper-oxide rectifiers to make an amplifier similar in design to a vacuum tube. An amplifier strengthens electrical impulses. A vacuum tube is a tubelike glass or metal shell in which various plates and wires are mounted. The vacuum tube gets its name from the fact that almost all the air must be removed from the tube for it to work. Although the two researchers did not succeed, Brattain was able to impress the president of Bell Labs, Mervin Kelly. In March 1940, Kelly summoned Brattain and Becker to his office, where he showed them the work of another Bell Labs scientist, Russell Ohl. Ohl had accidentally discovered a mysterious effect that occurred in a cracked silicon crystal. When light was shined on the crystal, the amount of current flowing through the crystal changed. Brattain first thought that he and Becker were the butts of a practical joke, but he quickly came up with an impromptu explanation that proved to be correct: the extra electric current must originate at the crack in the crystal.

Il fit ensuite toute sa carrière aux laboratoires de la compagnie Bell Telephone de Murray Hill (New Jersey), travaillant d'abord sur l'émission thermo-ionique du tungstène, puis sur les effets de surface des semi-conducteurs, en particulier dans le cas du silicium et du germanium. La découverte de l'effet du rayonnement sur la surface libre d'un semi-conducteur participait d'un effort coordonné d'étude des semi-conducteurs au sein des laboratoires Bell, à partir de 1946, sous la direction de William Shockley.
