What made it possible was the invention of the integrated circuit (IC) in 1958. It's a neat way of cramming hundreds, thousands, millions, or even billions of electronic components onto tiny chips of silicon no bigger than a fingernail. Let's take a closer look at ICs and how they ...
In March 1959, Texas Instruments announced Kilby's "solid circuit" concept and introduced its first commercial device in March 1960. However, gold-wired interconnections were not a practical production technique. Jack Kilby's invention would not have been possible without a few remarkable discoveries...
[15] Kilby won the 2000 Nobel Prize in physics for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit.[16] 参考译文:新入职德州仪器公司后,基尔比于1958年7月记录了他关于集成电路的初步想法,并于1958年9月12日成功演示了第一个工作的集成电路示例。[12]在他的1959年2月6日专利申请中,[13]基尔比将...
Turning Potential into Realities: The Invention of the Integrated Circuit. The field of electronics had strong potential when I invented the integrated circuit in 1958. The reality of what people have done with integrated circuits... Kilby,Jack,S. - International Journal of Modern Physics B: Cond...
Jack S. Kilby, an electrical engineer whose invention of the integrated circuit gave rise to the information age and heralded an explosion of consumer electronics products in the last 50 years, from personal computers to cellphones, died Monday in Dallas. He was 81. His death, after a brief...
The basic distinction between analog and digital circuits is that the former rely for their operation on the analog properties of circuit elements, while these properties are a nuisance in the case of the latter. This point is raised because of the increasing prevalence of IC's with both ...
Integrated circuit, an assembly of electronic components with miniature devices built up on a semiconductor substrate. The resulting circuit is thus a small monolithic ‘chip,’ which may be as small as a few square millimeters. The individual circuit co
circuit. Today what we call an IC, however, was initially known as monolithic integrated circuit. It is believed that Kilby created the first working IC back in 1958 and he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 for his efforts. The first customer for this invention was the US Air Force...
monolithic integrated circuit. It is believed that Kilby created the first working IC back in 1958 and he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 for his hard work. The first buyer for this invention was the US Air Force. This article discusses an overview of the integrated circuit and its...
143,456. This invention employs a protective covering for a semiconductor device which includes a circuit board bearing a conductive pattern and a chip. Inoue fixes his chip with a eutectic or electrically connected adhesive to a die bonded portion of the circuit board pattern with aluminum wire....
