Not for nothing but Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain were physicists awarded a Nobel "for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect". Bardeen also won a separate Nobel for a theory of superconductivity. Claiming they're not quantum physicists or had no influence on semiconductors is misinformed.
