John Northrup Shive (February 22, 1913 – June 1, 1984) was an American physicist and inventor. He made notable contributions in electronic engineering and solid-state physics during the early days of transistor development at Bell Laboratories. In particular, he produced experimental evidence that holes could diffuse through bulk germanium, and not just along the surface as previously thought. This paved the way from Bardeen and Brattain's point-contact transistor to Shockley's more-robust junction transistor. Shive is best known for inventing the phototransistor in 1948 (a device that combines the sensitivity to light of a photodiode and the current gain of a transistor), and for the Shive wave machine in 1959 (an educational apparatus used to illustrate wave motion).

  • John Northrup Shive (* 22. Februar 1913 in Baltimore; † 1. Juni 1984) war ein US-amerikanischer Physiker und Erfinder. Er wuchs auf in New Jersey, erwarb 1934 seinen B.S. in Physik und Chemie an der Rutgers University und 1939 seinen Ph.D. an der Johns Hopkins University mit einer Arbeit zur Modulation von Geigerzählern (Practice and theory of the modulation of Geiger counters). Ab 1939 war er an den Bell Laboratories. Er war Fellow der American Physical Society und der American Association for the Advancement of Science. (de)
  • John Northrup Shive (22 février 1913 - 1er juin 1984) est un chercheur physicien américain qui a apporté des contributions notables dans les domaines de l'ingénierie électronique et de la physique du solide au tout début du développement du transistor aux Laboratoires Bell. Il produisit, en particulier, la preuve expérimentale que les trous pouvaient diffuser dans la masse du germanium, et pas seulement en surface, comme on le pensait jusqu'alors. Cette découverte ouvrit la voie au transistor à point de contact de John Bardeen et Walter Brattain puis au plus robuste transistor à jonction de William Shockley. Shive est surtout connu pour avoir inventé, en 1948, le phototransistor, un dispositif qui combine la sensibilité à la lumière d'une photodiode avec le gain en courant d'un transistor. (fr)
