About this person
He also served as the president of Integrated Vertical Modules, which focused on three-dimensional, high-density structures. His most notable contribution, however, is his field-effect device with insulated gates - also known as a self-aligned-gate MOSFET, or SAGFET. Bower patented this design in 1969 while working at the Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California.
