And in spite of Brattain, Bardeen and Shockley, what's the ratio of
bipolar junction transistors to FETs in that disruptive device of today,

Pretty low. Processes with SiGe (BiCMOS, etc.) are keeping BJTs alive in
the RF side of things, but are still overwhelmed by CMOS.
Anyone still using ECL? I-squared L? Hmm...
And yet nobody seems to know about Lilienfeld. He's about as obscure as
that other computing pioneer Atansasoff in the popular
mind.
Even Atanasoff was covered in my classes more than Lilienfeld...
