What Integrated Circuits Do

This is Jack Kilby's original integrated circuit.

Integrated circuits process information and are used in many modern devices.

The chip had several transistors on it that were integrated on using silicon.

Since the circuit was so small and powerful it allowed computers to become smaller.

Early Career

  • Worked in factory as an electronic manufacturer in Milwaukee.
  • 1958 worked for Texas Instruments.
