When was the semiconductor built?

Semiconductors aren't built, they are chemicals. Maybe you are thinking of semiconductor electronic components. The first semiconductor discovered was galena (lead sulfide) which was first used in a practical electronic component in 1874. The next semiconductor discovered was copper oxide which was first used in a practical electronic component in 1924. After that many others were discovered including selenium, germanium, and silicon. It was not practical to build electronic components using silicon until 1958 when Fairchild perfected their silicon mesa process, then in 1959 their silicon planar process.


What are the interconnection structures of a computer system?

Interconnection structure is a set of paths that connects different components of a computer. This is being designed based on how would the modules and parts need to communicate or on what will process the data first.


What are the names of some early computer languages?

FORTRAN, FORTH, C, BASIC, COBOL, LISP, LOGO, Pascal, and many more. Algol - Algorithmic Language SAIL - Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language BLISS - Basic Language for Implementation of System Software APL - A Programming Language SNOBOL - String Oriented Symbolic Language


How do they make microchips?

A microchip is an electronic device built as a single unit from many miniature components mainly transistors.Microchips are made by building up electronic circuits in a tiny wafer or pure silicon in a complicated layer-by-layer process.
