There was no invention, per se. However, there is a theory called Moore's Law that says every two years, computers will double the number of transistors on an integrated circuit. Translated from geek: every two years a computer of the same size will have a 40% increase in speed over last generation. That's why they can be both small and fast nowadays. Take a look at the Wikipedia article on Moore's Law if you are interested.
