Detailed explanation-1: -This is Jack Kilby’s first integrated circuit. He invented it at Texas Instruments in 1958. From TI: “Comprised of only a transistor and other components on a slice of germanium, Kilby’s invention, 7/16-by-1/16-inches in size, revolutionized the electronics industry.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jack Kilby’s invention of the integrated circuit was the genesis of almost every electronic product used today. From cell phones, to modems, to Internet audio players, the chip has changed the world. Kilby received the Nobel Prize in Physics on December 10, 2000 for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Jack St. Clair Kilby (November 8, 1923 – June 20, 2005) was an American electrical engineer who took part (along with Robert Noyce of Fairchild) in the realization of the first integrated circuit while working at Texas Instruments (TI) in 1958. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on December 10, 2000.
