In 1958, two enterprising young engineers, Ed Pagano and Al Prinz (Ed-Al), decided to leave secure and responsible positions with a major rectifier manufacturer in order to implement some of their own ideas. Their initial products were a line of copper oxide and selenium rectifiers soon followed with silicon diodes. They pioneered the development of solid state diffusion, which led to the development of the bulk avalanche rectifier. This permitted the series stringing of diodes without compensating networks and stacking individual chips to achieve high voltage devices and power devices capable of withstanding transient energy. It also led to integrating the individual chips into bridge rectifiers to produce maximum power in minimum space instead of using individual diodes, which was prevalent at that time.
