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. |

Gowned Worker in DMOS IV Clean
Room - Placing hundreds of millions of transistors on a tiny
piece of is intricate and exacting. At Texas Instruments, precision
associated with chip manufacturing is measured in fractions of
microns 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. |
| |
|
Gowned Worker in DMOS 5 Clean
Room - Texas Instruments is a world leader in developing new
semiconductor manufacturing processes. Maintaining this level
of precision demands chip production environments that are 1,000
times cleaner than today's cleanest surgical operating rooms.

|
Gowned Worker in DMOS 5
- At Texas Instruments, new manufacturing processes make it possible
to integrate more functions on a single silicon chip. As a result,
cellular phones can be made smaller and lighter-, with more features
and longer battery time - and at less cost. |
| |
|
Gowned Worker Holding Wafer
- Wafers are flat, mirror-like disks of polished silicon on which
microchips are fabricated. Newest technology from Texas Instruments
packs hundreds of millions of transistors onto a single chip. |
| |
|
Gowned Worker in Clean Room
- The manufacture of integrated circuits involves various steps
and recipes according to the type of chip being produced. Each
step may be repeated many times. At Texas Instruments, we are
constantly refining chip manufacturing processes to reduce cycle
time. |
