I have a board on my desk that has a radar IC. the package is 6 by 6 millimeter, and it works at 70 GHz.
Q.E.D.

To be fair, they didn't have gigahertz in the '60s, they only had kilomegacycles ...

But, was perusing a local vintage electronics store (Green Brook Electronics) and picked up a copy of “Thin-Film and Semiconductor Integrated Circuitry” (John M. Doyle, 1966).

I assume you mean the Green Brook Electronics on West-Bound Rt22 near Union?  Do they still sell electronic parts and things?

There was a Green Brook Electronics on East-Bound Rt22.  That used to be my go-to place when I needed parts urgently.  I was sadden seeing it disappeared.

Recently I drove farther East on Rt22 and noticed a store by the same name West-bound Rt22.  But due to virus shut-downs, I did not stop there.  My solder-sucker is on the fritz, I was planning on giving it a try to see if it was the same store...

That's good news!  I shopped there since the 80's.  Knowing the people there when they were in Green Brook (old timer face-to-face kind of guys), I didn't even expect they would have a website!

I'm going shopping next week...
