Chip co-inventor Jack Kilby
« on: February 08, 2023, 08:46:06 PM »
#OnThisDay in 1959, “chip” co-inventor Jack Kilby filed patent application 'Miniaturized Electronic Circuits'.

Kilby was employed by Texas Instruments and having not earned a vacation, he was left alone in the laboratory during the summer of 1958. He showed that it was possible to fabricate a simple integrated circuit in germanium, a commonly used semiconductor at that time. An integrated circuit, chip, is built up of transistors and other components in a single piece of semiconductor material. Kilby continued his career as an inventor, with some 60 patents. Among other things, he is co-inventor of the pocket calculator, one of the first applications of the integrated circuit. A market survey run before the start of planning for its manufacture showed that interest in a pocket calculator was negligible. After all, people had slide-rules!

Another young engineer, Robert Noyce, developed the circuit as it was later to be manufactured in practice with silicon. They are both considered as the inventors of the integrated circuit, but Robert Noyce died in 1990. Kilby was awarded the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
