- Jack Kilby’s demonstration of the first working integrated circuit (IC) in 1958 revolutionized the field of microelectronics. Instead of using discrete transistors, resistors, and capacitors to form a circuit, Kilby’s IC design integrated a transistor, a capacitor, and the equivalent of three resistors all on the same chip.

Nov 19, 2023 · Jack St. Clair Kilby successfully miniaturized a complete electronic circuit onto a tiny chip no larger than a pencil eraser. This revolutionary invention, the integrated circuit, paved the way for modern computing technology as we know it.
Apr 24, 2024 · Jack Kilby was an American engineer and one of the inventors of the integrated circuit, a system of interconnected transistors on a single microchip. In 2000, Kilby was a corecipient, with Herbert Kroemer and Zhores Alferov, of the Nobel Prize for Physics. Kilby was the son of an electrical.

Sep 16, 2017 · Kilby made the most of his time alone in the lab and put to the test his theory that passive devices and transistors could be made from the same material and make a complete circuit. On September 12th, 1958, he demonstrated his theory by running electricity through the slab and displaying the results on an oscilloscope.
A group of TI executives gathered in the semiconductor lab as Kilby produced a slice of germanium; fabricated within this semiconductor was a crudely constructed electronic...

Instead of using discrete transistors, resistors, and capacitors to form a circuit, Kilby’s IC design integrated a transistor, a capacitor, and the equivalent of three resistors all on the same chip.
Kilby presented the first integrated circuit, built from germanium instead of silicon and about the size of a postage stamp, on September 12 of that year. It was patented a few months later. Since then, it has become the basic building block of modern electronics.
