Kilby, Jack

The study of electrons trapped in matter (commonly termed solid state ) led eventually to the invention of the transistor in 1947 by Walter Brattain, John Bardeen, and William Shockley at Bell Laboratories, and then to the integrated circuit hy Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby a decade later. Use of these devices dominated the second half of the twentieth century, most notably through computers, with a significant stininlus to development being given by military expenditures.

In 1958, Jack Kilby (1923-2005), a researcher atTexas Instruments, invented a miniature electronic circuit known as an integrated circuit. Modern integrated circuits, which contain many electronic components etched on a thin wafer of silicon, have become a vital part of many devices, especially computers. Placing a large number of electronic components in such a small area has greatly reduced the size of electronic equipment.

In 1958, Jack Kilby" at Texas Instruments and, in 1959, Robert Noyce" at Fairchild Semiconductor independently invented the integrated circuit as a solution to the problem of building electronic circuits with large numbers of components. Instead of making transistors one by one, several transistors could be made with this technique at the same time, on the same piece of semiconductor. In addition to transistors, other electric components such as resistors, capacitors, and diodes could be made by the same process with the same set of materials. ... 

The rudimentary IC that Kilby made contained one bipolar transistor, three resistors, and one capacitor, all made in germanium and coimected by wire bonding. For his invention of the IC, Jack Kilby was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 2000." The monolithic (monolith means single stone ) IC that Noyce proposed in 1959 was a flip-flop circuit containing six devices, in which the aluminum interconnection lines were obtained by etching an evaporated aluminum layer over the entire oxide surface using a lithographic technique. ... 

Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments filed four U.S. patents—nos. 3138743, 3138747, 3261081, and 3434015—for a "solid state" circuit in 1959. 

US electronics engineers Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce (1927-90) develop integrated circuits. 

Texas Instruments engineer Jack Kilby, credited with developing one of the first designs for an integrated circuit, came up with his idea in July, 1958, while he was a new employee. He had not yet earned vacation time, so he was alone in the office while most of his collet es were taking time off. Kilby received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000.

The very readable story about Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments and RobertNoyce of Fairchild Semiconductor and later Intel, who independently came up with different approaches to the invention of the microchip. 

Integrated circuit (Robert Norton Noyce and Jack St. Oair Kilby) The microchip, independently discovered by Noyce and Kilby, proves to be the breakthrough that allows the miniaturization of electronic circuits and paves the way for the digital revolution. 

Handheld calculator (Jack St. Clair Kilby) While working for Texas Instruments, Kilby does for the adding machine what the transistor had done for the radio, inventing a handheld calculator that retails at 150 and becomes an instant commercial success. 

The history of the integrated circuit is in fact a contemporary history, which began about 1950 when the electron tube was replaced by the transistor, as described in Chapter 41 Germanium. The need for conventional connecting of wires set a limit to how small the device could be made. Could new possibilities be found In 1958 Jack S. Kilby (bom 1923) got the idea that all parts... 

In 2000 Jack S. Kilby got the Nobel Prize for physics together with Zhores 1. Alferov and Herbert Kraemer. At that time Noyce was not alive. He had unexpectedly died of a heart attack ten years earlier at the age of 62. 

Noyce filed a patent for the integrated circuit in July 1959, a few months after Jack Kilby (1923-2005) had produced the world s first integrated circuit while working for Texas Instruments. Kilby received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2000. 

Nobel prize for Physics Zhores I. Alferov and Herbert Kroemer for developing semiconductor heterostructures used in high-speed and opto-electronics and Jack St. Clair Kilby, for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit. 

A list of the important points for innovations are (1) the progress of the scientific understanding of the science and physics of the liquid crystal of around 1960 (2) the development of integrated circuit according to Jack Kilby in 1959 (3) the discovery of the electro-optical effect in liquid crystals and the invention of the LCD by Williams in 1962 (4) the development of CMOS transistors by Frank Manon Wanlass in 1963 (5) the prototype presentation of the LCD by the research group of Heilmeier at RCA in 1968 (6) the synthesis of room temperature liquid crystal MBBA by Hans Kelker et al. in 1969 (7) the synthesis of the transparent ITO electrode by Yoshiyuki Katsube in 1969 (8) the proposal of a DSM theory by the Orsay LC group and finally, (9) the decision to start the development of a simple calculator instead of a TV set in 1969. 

To understand the history of microlithography and its importance, and to motivate the various advances relative to polymeric materials used in resists, a brief background and introduction to semiconductor microelectronics and the role of miaolithography in that industry are helpful. Although the invention of the first semicondudor transistor by William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain at Bell Labs in 1947 was an immensely important milestone, as recognized in part by a Nobel Prize awarded to them in 1956, it was really the invention of the first monolithic IC by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce in 1960 that ushered in what people enjoy today as the era of modem miaoelecttonics. The integrated devices developed by Kilby and Noyce consisted of many solid-state...
