John Bardeen shared the 1956 prize with William B. Shockley and Walter H. Brattain for their joint invention for: Correct Answer Transistor

Transistor, semiconductor device for amplifying, controlling, and generating electrical signals. Transistors are the active components of integrated circuits or microchips that often contain billions of these minuscule devices etched into their shiny surfaces. The transistor was invented in 1947–48 by three American physicists, John Bardeen, Walter H. Brattain, and William B. Shockley, at the American Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Bell Laboratories. The three were eventually awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for their invention in 1956.
