The microchip was invented by two people namely Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. This invention was a key stage in the development of computing.
No one, it was actually invented. By Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce (1958) while working for Texas Instruments. (and Kilby got a Nobel for his work)
Jack Kilby invented the first integrated circuit - the microchip
The microchip was invented by Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby. A microchip is built by layers of a semiconductor material of silicon or germanium
In 1958-1959 two men were working on the idea for different companies. One was Jack Kilby with Texas Instruments and the other was Robert Noyce who began Fairchild Semiconductor which will become Intel. Kilby has 60 patents to his name and is known as the inventor of portable calculator. His microchip was first used by the government for the minuteman missle. Noyce has 16 patents to his name.
