All RSS Feeds Appreciation By T.R. Reid Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, June 22, 2005; Page C01 For decades after Jack St. Clair Kilby got the revolutionary idea that has enhanced daily life for almost everybody on Earth, people used to tell the inventor of the microchip that he deserved a Nobel Prize. He always scoffed at the notion. "Those big prizes are for the advancement of understanding," Kilby would explain in his slow, plainspoken Kansas way. "They are for scientists, who are motivated by pure knowledge. But I'm an engineer. I'm motivated by a need to solve problems, to make something work. For guys like me, the prize is seeing a successful solution." As it happened, Jack Kilby did eventually win the Nobel Prize although the Royal Swedish Academy didn't award it until more than 40 years after his 1958 breakthrough and after he had received almost every other honor and award an engineer can receive.

    Extractions: PCIN.net Update - Computer news, tips, and recommended sites 05:46:39 pm, Categories: News , 160 words From New York Times 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 battle with cancer, was announced yesterday by Texas Instruments, the Dallas-based electronics company where he worked for a quarter-century. The integrated circuit that Mr. Kilby designed shortly after arriving at Texas Instruments in 1958 served as the basis for modern microelectronics, transforming a technology that permitted the simultaneous manufacturing of a mere handful of transistors into a chip industry that routinely places billions of Lilliputian switches in the area of a fingernail. His achievement - the integration - yielded a thin chip of crystal connecting previously separate components like transistors, resistors and capacitors within a single device. For that creation, commonly called the microchip, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000.

Integrated Circuits (IC) form the basis of the huge global electronics industry worth more than trillion dollars. IC’s are used in a whole range of industries - cutting across computing, communications, entertainment, control and an array of equipment - ranging from office equipment to factory automation to healthcare. The present day software industry would be unthinkable without the IC’s that form the bedrock of modern day memory, microprocessors and DSP (that in turn constitute much of today’s PC’s and Mobile phones). It is interesting to note that Jack, a mid-westerner from Kansas, could not get admission to MIT; he finally managed to get a Masters’ Degree from Wisconsin. It was another Silicon Valley pioneer Robert Noyce who is also credited to have invented IC’s independently, who got much of the limelight in the high-profile IT industry. Robert Noyce got his PhD from MIT, joined Shockley, the inventor of Transistors, and later

    Extractions: KANSAN WINS NOBEL PRIZE FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Jack St. Clair Kilby's Interest in Electronics Began in Kansas. It was 1937. An ice storm hit Kansas, crushing telephone and power lines in the western part of the state, and leaving people isolated. As the president a small power company in GreatBend looked for a way to communicate with the rest of the world, he turned to amateur radio operators. The president’s teenage son accompanied him to meet with the ham operators and spurred a life-long fascination for electronics. Twenty-one years later Jack Kilby’s interest led him to invent the microchip. Kilby was named, along with three Russian scientists, as winners of the 2000 Nobel Prize in physics for their work in laying the foundations of information technology. Zhores Alferov and Herbert Kroemer of Russia, with Kilby from the U.S. share one half of the $1 million prize for work on developing semi-conductors. Kilby, of Texas Instruments, won the award for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit and as a co-inventor of the pocket calculator. After his first contact with ham radio, Jack Kilby got a license, built a transmitter, and began to operate the radios himself. He recalls that "the older hams...were very helpful and tolerant of a young high school student. It convinced me that I wanted to study electrical engineering." With bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Universities of Illinois and Wisconsin respectively he began his career in 1947 with the Centralab Division of Globe Union, Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before being hired by Texas Instruments.

    Extractions: JACK KILBY HELPED PUT TEXAS ON THE HIGH TECHNOLOGY MAP Whenever I have traveled abroad and my hosts learn I am from Texas, they almost always mention "cowboys." The self-reliance, integrity and grit of the cowboy has become part of Texas' personality and the world knows it. What many people do not realize is that these qualities have helped Texans excel in every field of human endeavor, from sports to science. One man who exemplified these traits in science was Jack S. Kilby, who passed away just a few weeks ago. Jack was an engineer's engineer who was always listened to because he only spoke when he had something to say. This unassuming man changed the world through his invention of the integrated circuit chips which made the desktop computer and a thousand other marvels possible. During the hot Texas summer of 1958, Jack Kilby was on duty at Texas Instruments. As a newly hired engineer, Kilby held down the fort at TI's labs while his fellow engineers went on vacation. He had time to ponder several engineering problems and thought about the way transistors and diodes were manufactured out of semiconductor material and realized more than one of these devices could be made out of the same piece of material. In doing this, he had the key insight which led to his invention a few months later of the integrated circuit, a discovery which led to the creation of an entirely new electronics industry. The first integrated circuit consisted of a handful of transistors and diodes on a single chip. Today, each ultra large-scale integrated chip holds the equivalent of more than 100,000 transistors and allows the production of low-cost computers and other products. After this breakthrough, Kilby did not rest on his laurels. He ended his career with more than 60 patents, including the invention of the hand-held calculator. Nonetheless, it was the integrated circuit which won him the Nobel Prize.

    Extractions: Jack Kilby 1923-2005 HISTORY Jack Kilby inventor of chip dies - legacy in tolling Texas Instruments has announced the death of their longtime senior engineer and inventor Jack S. Kilby. 81, Kilby died Monday in Dallas TX. Kilby is credited with inventing the microchip in Texas in 1958 - though Robert Noyce of Intel developed a slightly different version only months later in California. Kilby is credited with more than 60 TI patents. Our world has been transformed by the technologies developed by great men like Kilby. Computers, mobile communications, the internet, and our industrial and military strength are all based on their work. With brilliant inventors like Kilby, Texas Instruments has been one of the leaders in RFID (radio frequency identification) tags and transponders that are central to the modernization and trnasofrmation of tolling. TIRIS (Texas Instruments Radio Identification Systems) toll tags became the California standard (Title 21) and are still in service today, although the business unit itself was sold off to SIRIT in Toronto Canada in about 1997 (memory). SIRIT continues to manufacture and develop transponders for tolling, parking and product ID. The name SIRIT was chosen from TIRIS spelled backwards! So the toll business still has a connection back to the origins of the microchip. Transponders themselves go back, it is said to World War Two/Korean War period in the search for ways to reduce "friendly fire" casualties. This became a pressing issue with development of air-to-air missiles able to strike at a distance at which eyeball identification was tough. Various airforces sponsored research on equipment to identify friend or foe (acronymed IFF) at a distance and the first transponders were employed in fighter planes. Now they are in all kinds of aircraft and surface war vehicles too.
