Who invented the first silicon chip?
Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce
What allowed computer technology to develop?
THE SILICON CHIP -The term silicon is important in the computer industry. Microchips that let computers work are made from silicon. Scientists developed the first trial silicon chip in 1958. Before that time computers were made of transistors. In 1958 scientists thought that silicon microchips were impressive because each chip could hold more than 30 transistors. Today's silicon chips often have more than a million transistors. Silicon microchips have helped make modern computer technology possible.
Are very small pieces of silicon or other semiconducting material onto which integrated circuits are embedded?
A: An IC it maybe 2" long but the silicon chip can be as small as a 3mm The rest of the real estate packaging in plastic ceramics whatever is there to provide support for the external connection pins and the wires welded inside of the silicon chip
What is the responsible for executing instruction to process data and consists of transistor and electronic circuits on silicon chip on the motherboard?
central processing unit(cpu)
Who was the first to invent a microchip?
The monolithic integrated circuit was invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958. It was made of a single crystal of germanium. Although all the components were made together in that crystal their interconnections still had to be wired. In early 1959 Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor invented an improved integrated circuit using silicon. The use of silicon instead of germanium allowed passivation of the chip surface with an insulating layer of silicon dioxide and interconnecting the components with a layer of metal over that. These were the first practical monolithic integrated circuits and Kilby's original design never went into production.

What were computers used 2 do in the 17 centey?
As the silicon chip was not invented until 1961, they did not have access to computers or electricity in the 17th century.
What is the solute and solution of a silicon chip?
A silicon chip is a semiconductor crystal matrix - a solid. As such, the terms solute and solution do not apply to it.

What exactly is a computer chip in layman's terms?
The computer microprocessor (microchip or chip)places all the thinking parts of a computer, such as memory and central processing unit (CPU) onto a single silicon chip. It was invented in 1968 by American engineer Marcian Hoff.
