Abstract

Vinod Dham is recognized as the ‘Father of Pentium Chip’ or ‘Father of Intel Pentium Process’ in the field of the computer industry, and as an Indo-American pioneer from Silicon Valley. He has contributed 10 research papers during 1982–1986, with an average of two papers per year. This study tries to analyze his contributions through a bibliometric study and draw his familiarity as a world-famous electronic technologist. Data has been collected from Google Scholar and some from Crossref, Scopus databases. In addition, his biographical information is taken from several offline and online sources. Using MS Word and Excel, data are tabulated and then analyzed, highlighting various scientometric indicators. Out of his 10 contributions, 8 papers are conference papers and 2 are journal articles. All are multi-authored papers in collaboration with 38 co-authors. Dham has received maximum number of citations 118 in Google Scholar, 112 in Scopus and 55 in Crossref from the paper “Electrical properties of nitrided-oxide systems for use in gate dielectrics and EEPROM”, and got highest citation in patent, that is, 40 from the paper “High-voltage regulation and process considerations for highdensity 5 V-only E/sup 2/PROM’s”, and some others scientometric indicators have been found from this study. If we go through past studies in bibliometric research, it will be observed that many biobibliometric studies were carried out by several librarians, bibliometricians, and information scientists on different specialists in a variety of disciplines. Despite a bibliometric study of Sri Vinod Dham, an influential personality of the computer industry, it is not seen there. Hence, this study is an original and important work.
