He was the co-inventor of the first N-channel EPROM, the Intel 2708 EPROM and later created the 5v 2716 EPROM. He subsequently made major development contributions to the first EEPROMs, including the 2816, and Flash memories. In addition to these major technical contributions, George was a co-founder of three successful semiconductor companies: SEEQ Technologies in 1981, Chips and Technology in 1983, and Atmel Corporation in 1984. In addition to major product developments, these companies pioneered the fab-less semiconductor business model. George worked at AMI American Micro systems from 1972 to 1974 and Intel Corporation starting in 1974 where for 8 years he worked as a device, process, Circuit Design Engineer and project manager. He worked at SEEQ Technology from 1981 to 1983 as VP of Engineering and Atmel Corporation from 1984 to 2006 as its Chairman, President and CEO. G
