I came across a very interesting video on how the Japanese electronics industry started. Some of their manufacturing techniques are almost comical. Find the time and check this out – a very informative piece of video.

I thought the Russians invented the transistor! Just ask Mr. Chekhov!

Thanks for the link to that intersting video.
The Japanese did not have much to go on at that time so they did what they could to get a start in semiconductors. In the U.S., on the other hand, we had scientists (particularly at W.E. and Bell) who had rigorous academic backgrounds in the physics of semiconductor theory and methods of production. As we have seen, those conditions evolved to where we are today: the U.S. out of business with consumer electronics products but maintaing a diminishing lead in limited areas of advanced semiconductor design and production methods. Not funny.
