Show Notes
Semiconductors are at the heart of countless electronic devices. Although we often think of Silicon Valley as being built on computer chips, the companies that make the chips often depend upon materials and equipment manufacturers who build the component parts. On today's show we explore some of the unheralded companies that have made the Digital Revolution possible.
