HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL The Nobel Committee has asked me to discuss my life story, so I guess I should begin at the beginning. I was born in 1923 in Great Bend, Kansas, which got its name because the town was built at the spot where the Arkansas River bends in the middle of the state. I grew up among the industrious descendents of the western settlers of the American Great Plains. My father ran a small electric company that had customers scattered across the rural western part of Kansas. While I was in high school, a huge ice storm knocked down most of the poles that carried the telephone and electric power lines. My father worked with amateur radio operators to communicate with areas where customers had lost their power and phone service. My dad's goal was to do whatever it took to run his business and to help people, but I thought that amateur radio was a fascinating subject. It sparked my interest in electronics, and that's when I decided that this field was something I wanted to pursue. I also was a fan of broadcast radio. In the 1940s, I especially enjoyed listening to Big Band music. Even today, there's a radio station in Dallas that plays this kind of music, and with a little luck, I don't have to listen to much else.

JACK S. KILBY Fascinating facts about Jack Kilby inventor of Integrated Circuits in and the Hand-held Calculator in There are few living men whose insights and professional accomplishments have changed the world. Jack Kilby is one of these men. His invention of the monolithic integrated circuit - the microchip - some 40 years ago at Texas Instruments (TI) laid the conceptual and technical foundation for the entire field of modern microelectronics. It was this breakthrough that made possible the sophisticated high-speed computers and large-capacity semiconductor memories of today's information age. Born November 8 1923 in Jefferson City, Missouri, Mr. Kilby grew up in Great Bend, Kansas. With B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Universities of Illinois and Wisconsin respectively, he began his career in 1947 with the Centralab Division of Globe Union Inc. in Milwaukee, developing ceramic-base, silk-screen circuits for consumer electronic products. In 1958, he joined TI in Dallas. During the summer of that year working with borrowed and improvised equipment, he conceived and built the first electronic circuit in which all of the components, both active and passive, were fabricated in a single piece of semiconductor material half the size of a paper clip. The successful laboratory demonstration of that first simple microchip on September 12, 1958, made history.

25. Integrated Circuit History - Invention Of The Integrated Circuit Little did this group of onlookers know, but kilby’s invention, The inventionof jack kilby and Robert Noyce, also known as the chip , http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/integratedcircuit.htm

Fascinating facts about the invention of Integrated Circuits by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce in INTEGRATED CIRCUIT For almost 50 years after the turn of the 20 th century, the electronics industry had been dominated by vacuum tube technology. But vacuum tubes had inherent limitations. They were fragile, bulky, unreliable, power hungry, and produced considerable heat. TI was working on the Micro-Module program when Kilby joined the company in 1958. Because of his work with Centralab in Milwaukee, Kilby was familiar with the "tyranny of numbers" problem facing the industry. But he didn’t think the Micro-Module was the answer — it didn’t address the basic problem of large quantities of components in elaborate circuits. So Kilby began searching for an alternative, and in the process decided the only thing a semiconductor house could make cost effectively was a semiconductor. "Further thought led me to the conclusion that semiconductors were all that were really required — that resistors and capacitors [passive devices], in particular, could be made from the same material as the active devices [transistors]. I also realized that, since all of the components could be made of a single material, they could also be made in situ interconnected to form a complete circuit," Kilby wrote in a 1976 article titled "Invention of the IC." Kilby began to write down and sketch out his ideas in July of 1958.

Jack St Clair Kilby: Inventor of the Integrated Chip and Pocket Calculator Jack Kilby began his career as a rather undistinguished scientist. He couldn't get into MIT, and he got consistently average grades as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois. But grades don't always make the man. Barely ten years after he graduated from college, Kilby independently co-invented an integrated chip , the kind of chip that today lies in the heart of every computer. By incorporating all the necessary electronic components onto a single crystal of silicon, Kilby was one of the men who helped start the information age. In July of 1958, Kilby had been at Texas Instruments for little more than two months. The halls of TI were deserted as most of the researchers were on vacation. With plenty of time to himself, Kilby thought out how to build an integrated chip. What he didn't know was that Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore , then at Fairchild , were working on the same idea. Kilby's patent was first by five months, but Noyce's device, the "planar" IC, would dominate the market. After years of litigation, the two companies agreed to cross-license their devices.

This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor The Microchip Although he has over 60 patents to his credit, Jack Kilby would justly be considered one of the greatest electrical engineers of all time for one invention: the monolithic integrated circuit, or microchip (patent #3,138,743). The microchip made microprocessors possible, and therefore allowed high-speed computing and communications systems to become efficient, convenient, affordable, and ubiquitous. Some time after earning a BSEE at the University of Illinois (1947) and an MSEE at the University of Wisconsin (1950), Kilby took a research position with Texas Instruments, Inc., in Dallas, Texas (1958). Within a year, Kilby had conceived and created what no engineer had thought possible: a small, self-contained, "monolithic" integrated circuit, in a single piece of semiconductor material about the size of a fingernail. At the first professional presentation of his invention, the IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers) Show of 1959, Kilby's colleagues were both astonished and overjoyed-and the "fourth generation" of computers was born. Kilby went on to develop the first industrial, commercial, and military applications for his integrated circuits-including the first pocket calculator (the "Pocketronic") and computer that used them. By the mid-1970s, the computing industry was inconceivable without the microchip, which forms the basis of modern microelectronics: without it, no personal computer, fax machine, cellular phone, satellite television, or indeed any other computer or mass communication system as we know it would exist.

Archive Great Bend, Kansas Kilby accustomed to honors Jack Kilby is accustomed to having expensive buildings named after him. In 1997 Texas Instruments built a 150 million dollar building and named it "The Kilby Center," with Texas Governor George W. Bush on hand for the dedication in Dallas. Kilby is also accustomed to receiving awards that look rather nice on a resume. In 2000 the King of Sweden handed him a Nobel Prize, the most prestigious prize in the world, along with a check for nearly half a million dollars. In 1993 he received the Kyoto Prize in Japan, Japan’s highest award for technical achievement. In 1982 Jack Kilby was admitted to the United States Inventors Hall of Fame. In 1970 Kilby received the National Medal of Science in a White House ceremony. So what’s the fuss all about? In 1958 Kilby solved a problem that had stymied scientists and engineers for years. The problem was called "the tyranny of numbers." Scientists could only dream of fast, powerful computers, because a fast, powerful computer required miles of wire and hundreds of soldered connections. Kilby came up with a clever way to solve the problemget rid of the wires and soldering altogether, and instead print multiple electrical components on a silicon surface. This idea reduced the size and cost of computers and other electronic devices dramatically.
