Integrated Circuit (IC)
A Brief History
• In 1958, Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments came
up with the idea that you could build transistors,
capacitors and resistors on the same
semiconductor substrate.
• his first prototype was a 1.3MHz oscillator with 1
transistor, 1 capacitor and a few resistors, all built
on the same piece of germanium.
• Kilby used hand-soldered wires to connect
together these components.

• In 1961, Bob Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor,
on the other hand, integrated connections
between components.
• His first prototype was a flip-flop.
• With the monolithic integrated circuit concept
developed by Noyce, one could get very high
connection density in circuits.
• Interconnects between components could be
made much smaller!

designed using 14nm Technology has over
whooping 7.5 billion (approx) transistors.

• This corresponds to a compound annual growth
rate of 53% over 50 years.
• No other technology in history has sustained such
a high growth rate lasting for so long.
