It was two electrical engineers, who were working separately and independently of each other, that came up with the designs for semiconductor chips and integrated circuits.
Both received patents for their inventions in 1959. Their goals were the same but they each took a slightly different approach. The two companies eventually agreed to cross license the technologies to each other.
The image shows the first integrated circuit. It was handmade by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958 using a bar of germanium in which he formed transistors and resistors by diffusion then wired these components into a circuit by hand.
Who was first is unknown, but both Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek are credited with inventing the Leyden Jar in 1745. This electrical storage device was the first opportunity to use electricity to create a useful electric circuit. There is no acceptable and convincing record of what the first circuits were and who created them. But, credit for the first true electric circuit is due to these two men.
Protect the circuit with an OCPD, an over current protection device, such as a circuit breaker or fuse.
We probably can. You would need to provide the original circuit first, though. :D
In the transistor, first letter denotes the material and the second letter denotes about the type of device. Hence here in sk100 transistor, first letter s denotes that it is a silicon transistor and second letter k denotes that it is a hall effect device.So, sk100 is a hall effect silicon transistor....
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.

1958, but the germanium based process was difficult and expensive to use, requiring all the components in the IC be interconnected by hand under a microscope. It took another year or so for the silicon based planar process to be used, which allowed all components and interconnects to be made using photolithography.
Jack Kilby invented the first integrated circuit - the 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.
Most people recognize Jack Kilby (of Texas Instruments) as the inventor of the Integrated Circuit. The first IC, built in 1958, was a phase-shift oscillator:

In an integrated circuit, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors are formed directly onto the surface of a silicon crystal. The process of manufacturing an integrated circuit will make more sense if one first understands some of the basics of how these components are formed. Even before the first IC was developed, it was known that common electronic components could be made from silicon. The question was how to make them, and the connecting circuits, from the same piece of silicon? The solution was to alter, the chemical composition of tiny areas on the silicon crystal surface by adding other chemicals, called dopants. Some dopants bond with the silicon to produce regions where the dopant atoms have one electron they can give up. These are called N regions. Other dopants bond with the silicon to produce regions where the dopant atoms have room to take one electron. These are called P regions. When a P region touches an N region, the boundary between them is referred to . This boundary is only 0.000004 inches (0.0001 cm) wide, but is crucial to the operation of integrated circuit components.
Jack St. Clair Kilby, with help from Robert Noyce, invented the first integrated circuit in 1958. They were employed by Texas Instruments at the time.

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.
