Why did the first transistor in the USSR only have a "mother"?

Now it is impossible to imagine our world without transistors and microcircuits, but the creation of the first transistor in the USSR was laid on the fragile shoulders of an institute student. Why was the student Susanna Madoyan so brilliant?





In 1948, the American research corporation  Bell Telephone Laboratories  announced the creation of a transistor-semiconductor device capable of amplifying electrical signals. Scientific articles about this have been published in the press.

Susanna Gukasovna Madoyan  became a candidate of technical sciences and in 1969 moved to teaching, heading the department "Semiconductor devices" at the Institute of Steel and Alloys. She lectured students on the course "Technology of semiconductor devices" and was the scientific advisor of graduate students.





I have already published this article on another site, and I hope that the readers of HABR were interested in learning such a little-known fact.
