Kilby at TI did the first one using Germanium for his chips. The only thing not integrated was the wiring. The next year workers at Fairchild used Silicon and integrated everything.
Silicon chip, micro-chip, integrated circuit
Because if the integrated circuit "The Chip" wasn't invented, Then we would still be using vacuum tubes. Which are weaker, and more expensive to have.
The first integrated circuit chip was invented by Jack Kilby working at Texas Instruments in 1958. However it was made of germanium and although it integrated all the components into one chip, the interconnections between them had to be made individually by hand under a microscope. The first prototype integrated circuit he produced was a one transistor analog RC oscillator.The first practical integrated circuit chip was invented by Robert Noyce working at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1959. It was made of silicon and using Fairchild's new planar process developed for making individual transistors, integrated not only all components but also the interconnections; as well as passivating the chip making hermetic sealed packages unnecessary, permitting the use of cheaper plastic packages. The first prototype integrated circuit he produced (in early 1960) was a four transistor Direct Coupled Transistor Logic (DCTL) flip-flop.The first commercially available microprocessor integrated circuit was invented by Federico Faggin, Marcian "Ted" Hoff, and Masatoshi Shima working at Intel in 1971.
Chip maker Intel was founded in 1968 as Integrated Electronics Corporation or Intel in short.- Neeraj Sharma
Integrated Circuit
An integrated circuit or chip consists of a single-crystal chip of silicon, containing both active and passive elements and their interconnections. Or simply defined as a collection of more than 1000 transistors and their interconnections in a single chip!.
He invented a monolithic integrated circuit using germanium in 1958. While it proved the concept of the monolithic integrated circuit, unfortunately it was not practical for commercial production and sale as the electrical connections between the integrated components on the chip had to be done entirely by hand under a microscope. The first practical monolithic integrated circuit was invented by Robert Noyce in 1959 using silicon.
A silicon chip is also called an integrated circuit (IC) or a microchip. It is a small semiconductor wafer on which integrated circuits are fabricated.
The computer chip was invented in America by Lee de Forest!!!!
"Integrated circuit" (IC, or "chip")
It is integrated with Processor. Also called Cache Memory.
