Federico Faggin, fisico, inventore e imprenditore, è nato a Vicenza il 1° dicembre 1941, si laurea in fisica summa cum laude nel 1965 all'Università di Padova e dal 1968 risiede in California. Quell'anno, alla Fairchild sviluppa la tecnologia MOS con porta di silicio, che consente la fabbricazione dei primi microprocessori e delle memorie EPROM e DRAM, cuore della digitalizzazione dell'informazione. Diventa poi capo-progetto e designer dei primi microprocessori Intel (4004, 8008, 4040 e 8080). Nel 1974 co-fonda e dirige la Zilog, dove progetta il microprocessore Z80. Nel 1986 Faggin co-fonda e dirige Synaptics, che sviluppa i primi touch pad e touch screen. Il 19 ottobre 2010 Faggin riceve dal Presidente Barack Obama la Medaglia Nazionale per la Tecnologia e l'Innovazione per l'invenzione del microprocessore e l'anno dopo fonda la Federico ed Elvia Faggin Foundation, dedicata alla studio scientifico della coscienza.
