Jack Kilby with
His Engineering Notebook – Jack recorded
the successful demonstration of the first integrated circuit
in his engineering notebook. Signed JS Kilby, the page in
his notebook is dated September 12, 1958. |

Jack Kilby, modern
- While working at Texas Instruments, Jack Kilby invented
the world's first integrated circuit in 1958, and he was
a co-inventor of the world's first electronic handheld calculator
in 1967. He is the recipient of two of the nation's most
prestigious honors in science and engineering -- the National
Medal of Science and a member of the National Inventors
Hall of Fame. |

Jack Kilby, 2000
- Jack Kilby invented the world's first integrated circuit
while working at Texas Instruments in 1958. He was awarded
the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics for this invention. |

Jack Kilby with Products
Using Integrated Circuits - Jack Kilby's invention of
the integrated circuit was the genesis of almost every electronic
product used today. From cell phones, to modems, to Internet
audio players, the chip has changed the world and enabled
an entire industry to grow. |

Jack Kilby Holding Chips
- Jack Kilby's invention of the integrated circuit began
the digital revolution. Today's chips integrate millions
of transistors onto a single chip with unprecedented levels
of integration, performance and power. |

Jack Kilby Examines
300 mm Wafer - Jack Kilby's first integrated circuit
contained a single transistor and other components. Tens
of thousands of engineers around the world have built on
Jack's invention, and the industry has been able to provide
smaller, more powerful, cheaper chips with each generation.
Many of today’s integrated circuits are manufactured
on state-of-the-art 300-millimeter wafers, as the industry
continues to offer consumers more powerful chips at lower
costs. |

Jack Kilby in a Kilby
Center Lab - Jack Kilby's invention of the integrated
circuit was done in an R&D lab far different from the sophisticated
process labs of today, where scanning electron microscopes
allow engineers to validate their circuits at the microscopic
level. This lab is in the Kilby Center, one of the most
technologically advanced semiconductor R&D facilities in
the world. |

invention of the first integrated circuit at Texas Instruments. |

First Integrated Circuit
- Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit at Texas Instruments
in 1958. Comprised of only a transistor and other components
on a slice of germanium, Kilby's invention, 7/16-by-1/16-inches
in size, revolutionized the electronics industry. The roots
of almost every electronic device we take for granted today
can be traced back to Dallas more than 40 years ago. |

First Electronic Handheld
Calculator - The electronic hand-held calculator was
invented at Texas Instruments in 1967 by Jack Kilby, Jerry
Merryman, and James Van Tassel. Measuring 4-1/4 x 6-1/8
x 1-3/4-inches, it was the first mini-calculator to have
the high degree of computational power found only at the
time in considerably larger machines. |

View Inside the First
Electronic Handheld Calculator - The working heart of
the first miniature calculator, invented at Texas Instruments
in 1967, was an integrated semiconductor circuit array that
contained all the necessary electronics for performing addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. |
