Morris Tanenbaum (November 10, 1928 – February 26, 2023) was an American physical chemist and executive who worked at Bell Laboratories and AT&T Corporation.
Tanenbaum made significant contributions in the fields of transistor development and semiconductor manufacturing. Although it was not made public at the time, he developed the first silicon transistor, demonstrating it on January 26, 1954, at Bell Labs.[1][2] He also helped develop the first gas-diffused silicon transistor, which convinced Bell administrators to support the use of silicon over germanium in their transistor design. He later led a team that developed the first high-field superconducting magnets.
Later in his career he became an executive. He dealt with the separation of Bell Laboratories and AT&T, and became the first chief executive officer and chairman of the board at AT&T Corporation as of January 1, 1984.
