Large Scale Integration Integrated Circuits
512 wordsIn the third generation one of the key components was the development of the integrated circuit. An integrated circuit is the idea of putting many transistors on one single chip of silicon. Integrated circuits were essentially a step up from vacuum tubes. They are much more reliable, save more energy, and are more powerful than the vacuum tubes. Integrated circuits were invented by Jack St. Clair Kirby and Robert Noyce in 1958. One of the most exiting parts of integrated circuits was that they w...
