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.

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...
