The other members of the family (constituting the MCS-4 family) were: the 4001, a 2k-bit metal-mask programmable ROM with programmable input-output lines; the 4002, a 320-bit dynamic RAM with a 4-bit output port; and the 4003, a 10-bit serial input and serial/parallel output, static shift register to use as an I/O expander. Faggin promoted the idea of broadly marketing the MCS-4 to customers other than Busicom by showing to Intel management how customers could design a control system using the 4004. He designed and built a 4004 tester using the 4004 as the controller of the tester, thus convincing Bob Noyce to renegotiate the exclusivity clause with Busicom that didn't allow Intel to sell the MCS-4 line to other customers. </p><p>In 2009, the four contributors to the 4004 were inducted as Fellows of the Computer History Museum. <a href="/wiki/Ted_Hoff" class="mw-redirect" title="Ted Hoff">Ted Hoff</a>, head of Application Research Department, formulated the architectural proposal and the instruction set with assistance from <a href="/wiki/Stan_Mazor" class="mw-redirect" title="Stan Mazor">Stan Mazor</a> and working in conjunction with Busicom's <a href="/wiki/Masatoshi_Shima" title="Masatoshi Shima">Masatoshi Shima</a>. However, none of them was a chip designer and none was familiar with the new Silicon Gate Technology (SGT). The silicon design was the essential missing ingredient to making a microprocessor since everything else was already known. Federico Faggin led the project in a different department without Hoff's and Mazor's involvement. Faggin had invented the original SGT at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1968 and provided additional refinements and inventions to make possible the implementation of the 4004 in a single chip. With routine help from Shima, Faggin completed the chip design in January 1971. </p><p>The <b>Intel 2102A</b> is a redesign of the Intel 2102 static RAM, where Federico Faggin introduced to Intel, for the first time, the depletion load, combining the silicon gate technology with ionic implantation.

La coscienza, la vita, i computer e la nostra natura"</i> (Mondadori, 2022) Federico Faggin proposed a theory of consciousness according to which consciousness is a purely <a href="/wiki/Quantum_mechanics" title="Quantum mechanics">quantum phenomenon</a>, unique to each of us. This theory is supported by two quantum physics theorems: the <a href="/wiki/No-cloning_theorem" title="No-cloning theorem">no-cloning theorem</a> and <a href="/wiki/Holevo%27s_theorem" title="Holevo's theorem">Holevo's theorem</a>. The first states that a pure quantum state is not reproducible; the second limits the amount of measurable information to one classical bit for each qubit that describes the state. Therefore it is possible to postulate that a quantum system that is in a pure state is aware of its state, since conscious experiences (<a href="/wiki/Qualia" title="Qualia">qualia</a>) have all the essential properties of pure states, i.e., it is private knowledge only minimally knowable from the outside. However, the mathematical representation of the experience (the pure state) does not describe the experience, which remains private and knowable only from within by the system that is in that state. No classical machine can ever be conscious given that classical information is reproducible (program and data can be copied perfectly), while the quantum state is private. Consciousness is therefore not linked to the functioning of the body and can continue to exist even after the death of the body. The body behaves like a drone controlled "top down" by consciousness.
