Me

maybe Texas instruments inc.

Both TI and Fairchild:

  • Jack Kilby at TI did it with Germanium in 1958, but the process required hand wiring the individual components on the chip under a microscope. This was very expensive.
  • Robert Noyce at Fairchild did it with Silicon in 1959, their "planar" process allowed even the wiring to be integrated. It did not take long before everyone (including TI) switched to the Fairchild "planar" process.

The word chip refers to so many things that to answer your question properly, we would need to know to which chip you are referring. Please consider the following:

  • snack chips (potato chips, corn chips, tortilla chips)
  • Poker chips
  • computer chips (microchips)
  • french fries (called 'chips' in the UK)

Who invented the digital chip?

Several individuals developed circuitry that lead up to the Integrated Circuit as we know it today, starting as far back as 1949. The computer chip was developed in the late 1950s by two different researchers working independently of each other. Jack Kilby (1923- ) developed a chip at Texas Instruments in 1958, using Germanium, and Robert Noyce (1927-1990) invented a similar device at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1959, using Silicon. Jack Kilby has been recognized with a Noble Prize for his efforts.
