Silicon is an element, so it didn't need to be invented; it's just always been there. (Okay, technically it hasn't alwaysbeen there, but it's been around for longer than the Earth has.)
The silicon chip was invented in 1961. It was invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, and it revolutionized miniature technology.
Elements are discovered, they are not invented.

The silicon chip blood analyzer was invented by Micronics, Inc., a company founded in 1996 by a team from the University of Washington. They developed the technology to miniaturize traditional laboratory equipment into portable, easy-to-use devices for analyzing blood samples.
LED was not actually invented, but discovered. It was discovered by H.J. Round in the year 1907 through a crystal of silicon carbide.
Silicon or Si which is the most basic component of all processors was discovered in 1823. The first ever microprocessor was invented in 1971.
The microchip was invented by Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby. A microchip is built by layers of a semiconductor material of silicon or germanium
Solar panels were invented in 1954 by researchers at Bell Labs. They developed the first practical silicon solar cell capable of converting sunlight into electricity.
As the silicon chip was not invented until 1961, they did not have access to computers or electricity in the 17th century.
