Kenneth E. Manchester was drafted after high school to serve in World War II and later attended San Jose State University. Manchester then completed a Ph.D. in chemistry at Stanford University under the supervision of George S. Parks and worked as a postdoctoral fellow under Eric Hutchinson for three years. Manchester joined the surface chemistry group at Shell Development Company in 1955 and moved to Sprague Electric Company in 1962. At Sprague, he directed a research group that pioneered in the development of ion implantation, a key process in the manufacture of integrated circuits. Manchester later headed semiconductor research at Sprague before serving as director of quality assurance and reliability. He concludes the interview with thoughts on the need for chemists in semiconductor development.

Victor Grinich (November 24, 1924 - November 5, 2000) was a pioneer in the semiconductor industry. He worked at the seminal Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory of Beckman Instruments, and then left with other disgruntled members to create the influential Fairchild Semiconductor corporation. In the 1960s he left Fairchild Semiconductor to start teaching at UC Berkeley and Stanford University. In 1975 he published a textbook, Introduction to Integrated Circuits.
