Many computer historians consider the DEC PDP-1 to be the first minicomputer, but it was still quite large and was built entirely with discrete transistors. Most computer historians consider the DEC PDP-8 to be the first minicomputer as it was actually small enough to sit on a desk and later models were built with monolithic integrated circuits.

This class of smaller computers were developed in the mid-1960s and a possible candidate for the first early and highly successful minicomputer was Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) 12-bit PDP-8 made in the US.
What is the contribution of microchip in a computer development?
It allowed miniaturization beyond the discrete transistor, allowing the introduction of the minicomputer in the middle 1960s.

What generation was the minicomputer first used?
The first minicomputers were second generation computers, but the most well known minicomputers were third generation computers.
In what year was the minicomputer invented?
The minicomputer was invented as early as the mid 1960s and were sold for a cheaper price than the larger computers from competitors that were on the market. It is rarely called a minicomputer now, it is now known as a midrange computer.
