Introduced in 1952, Shockleyâs bipolar junction transistor, which was made from a solid piece of semiconductor material and no point contacts, dominated the industry for the next 30 years.ver the next decade many different manufacturing methods were developed to produce faster, cheaper and ever more reliable transistors. An important advance in 1954 was the silicon transistor, first from Morris Tanenbaum at Bell Labs and shortly after by a team led by chemist Willis Adcock at upstart Texas Instruments.
