Bell Semiconductor is the successor in interest to the intellectual property portfolio that originated at Bell Labs following the invention of the transistor.  Semiconductor-related R&D continued as Bell Labs became part of Lucent Technologies, and then subsequently continues as a core competency of successor companies: Agere Systems, LSI, Avago and Broadcom.

This IP portfolio is presently licensed, was previously licensed or is currently being used by a who’s who of the semiconductor manufacturing industry, including virtually all foundries and integrated device manufacturers.  The inventions captured in this portfolio enable the continued integration of semiconductor technology powering every hi-tech market, including smart-phones, PCs, tablets, wearables and IoT devices.

Key leaders of Bell Semiconductor include Chad Hilyard and Sailesh Merchant, each of whom previously served in leadership roles within the intellectual property businesses at Lucent, Agere Systems and LSI.
