Synchrotrons have advanced semiconductor physics. Many of the X-ray based techniques used to study semiconductor crystals rely on synchrotrons (i.e. big particle accelerators) to provide the necessary radiation.
Intel are a semiconductor company. They may not have funded the devices but they have benefited from the advances in physics that occured. They also collaborate with universities on basic research (like most big companies) and I would expect their engineers read academic journals & papers in the field and make use of the results.
