The father of Silicon Valley is the wisdom tree of William Shockley.

Correct. Because William Shock took the lead in leading "Silicon Valley" to a new era of electronic industry, and obtained more than 90 invention patents. He founded Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Silicon Valley on 1955. During his stay in Bell Laboratories, he co-invented the transistor, which was called "the most important invention of the 20th century" by the media and the scientific community.
