The man who invented the chip, Jack Kilby, was born in Jefferson City, Missouri, in 1923, and grew up in a small town in Kansas.

His father ran an electrical company, and as a teenager Kilby decided to become an electrical engineer. But he was poor at math and was denied admission to MIT because of failing grades. He went to the University of Illinois and graduated in electrical engineering at the age of 24.

After graduation, Kilby went to work for an unknown electronics company, and then joined the now world-renowned company Texas Instruments (TI) at the age of 34 as an integrated circuit research and development engineer. Perhaps growing up with unusual thinking, while other engineers were troubled by the dense circuit welding points, Kilby creatively proposed the idea of making circuit components and connections in a single semiconductor material, which is the early model of today's integrated circuit.
The chip was invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce
Jack Kilby On September 12, 1958, Kilby completed the first integrated circuit sample in human history by hand. Robert Noyce wrote the integrated circuit scheme in 1958, laying the foundation for the mass production of integrated circuits.

Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce combined the basic components of the circuit into the semiconductor silicon chip, the computing and processing performance is superior, not only can achieve mass production and low price, so they jointly improved the integrated circuit, that is, the chip.
The chip was made by William? Shao Cray, John? Barton and Walter? Bratton invented it in 1947.

English: integrated circuit, abbreviated IC; Or microcircuit (microcircuit), microchip, chip\/chip (chip) in electronics is a way to miniaturize a circuit (mainly including semiconductor devices, but also including passive components, etc.), and is often manufactured on the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The integrated circuit that manufactures the circuit on the surface of the semiconductor chip is also called the thin-film integrated circuit. Another thick-film hybrid integrated circuit is a miniaturized circuit composed of independent semiconductor devices and passive components integrated into a substrate or circuit board.

Jack Kilby (November 8, 1923 - June 20, 2005) was one of the two inventors of the integrated circuit. Kilby received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois in 1947 and a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1950. In 1958, the world's first integrated circuit was successfully developed. Known as the father of the chip. In 2000, Kilby was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the integrated circuit.
