They make computers smaller, faster, and perhaps more reliable. First computers were made of vacuum tubes. They were later made using transistors. After that, the transistors were moved to integrated circuits. From there was VLSI, or very large scale integration.

Which integrated circuits were used in the third generation of computers?

Both hybrid integrated circuits and monolithic integrated circuits were used in third generation computers. These integrated circuits contained from 4 to 100 transistors per integrated circuit. The image above shows hybrid integrated circuits of the type used in the IBM System 360 line of computers.

True or false the first computers to use the integrated circuit were known as third-generation computers?

True. Some of these computers used hybrid integrated circuits (e.g. IBM System/360) and some used monolithic integrated circuits (e.g. Apollo Guidance Computer, Minuteman II Guidance Computer)

How did Jack Kilby help to progress of computers?

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.
