Extractions: There are few living men whose insights and professional accomplishments have changed the world. Jack Kilby is one of these men. His invention of the monolithic integrated circuit - the microchip - some 40 years ago at Texas Instruments (TI) laid the conceptual and technical foundation for the entire field of modern microelectronics. It was this breakthrough that made possible the sophisticated high-speed computers and large-capacity semiconductor memories of today's information age.

Invention Of The Integrated Circuit (URL www.computer.org/history/development/1958.htm) The 2000 nobel Prize inPhysics jack S. kilby is being rewarded for his part in the invention and http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/integratedcircuit.htm
Extractions: Fascinating facts about the invention of Integrated Circuits by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce in INTEGRATED CIRCUIT For almost 50 years after the turn of the 20 th century, the electronics industry had been dominated by vacuum tube technology. But vacuum tubes had inherent limitations. They were fragile, bulky, unreliable, power hungry, and produced considerable heat. TI was working on the Micro-Module program when Kilby joined the company in 1958. Because of his work with Centralab in Milwaukee, Kilby was familiar with the "tyranny of numbers" problem facing the industry. But he didn’t think the Micro-Module was the answer — it didn’t address the basic problem of large quantities of components in elaborate circuits. So Kilby began searching for an alternative, and in the process decided the only thing a semiconductor house could make cost effectively was a semiconductor. "Further thought led me to the conclusion that semiconductors were all that were really required — that resistors and capacitors [passive devices], in particular, could be made from the same material as the active devices [transistors]. I also realized that, since all of the components could be made of a single material, they could also be made in situ interconnected to form a complete circuit," Kilby wrote in a 1976 article titled "Invention of the IC." Kilby began to write down and sketch out his ideas in July of 1958.

J'ai grandi parmi descendents travailleur des colons occidentaux des Grandes Plaines américaines. Mon père a dirigé une petite société électrique qui a fait disperser des clients à travers la partie occidentale rurale du Kansas. Tandis que j'étais dans le lycée, une tempête de pluie verglaçante énorme a renversé la plupart des poteaux (pôles) qui ont porté des lignes d'énergie électrique et le téléphone. Mon père a travaillé avec des opérateurs radio amateurs pour communiquer avec des secteurs où les clients avaient perdu leur pouvoir (puissance) et le service de téléphone. Le but de Mon papa était de faire quoi qu'il s'est mis dirigent son affaire et aider les gens, mais j'ai pensé que la radio amatrice était un sujet fascinant. Il a suscité mon intérêt dans l'électronique et c'est quand j'ai décidé que ce champ (domaine) était quelque chose que j'ai voulu poursuivre.

Extractions: KANSAN WINS NOBEL PRIZE FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Jack St. Clair Kilby's Interest in Electronics Began in Kansas. It was 1937. An ice storm hit Kansas, crushing telephone and power lines in the western part of the state, and leaving people isolated. As the president a small power company in GreatBend looked for a way to communicate with the rest of the world, he turned to amateur radio operators. The presidents teenage son accompanied him to meet with the ham operators and spurred a life-long fascination for electronics. Twenty-one years later Jack Kilbys interest led him to invent the microchip. Kilby was named, along with three Russian scientists, as winners of the 2000 Nobel Prize in physics for their work in laying the foundations of information technology. Zhores Alferov and Herbert Kroemer of Russia, with Kilby from the U.S. share one half of the $1 million prize for work on developing semi-conductors. Kilby, of Texas Instruments, won the award for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit and as a co-inventor of the pocket calculator. After his first contact with ham radio, Jack Kilby got a license, built a transmitter, and began to operate the radios himself. He recalls that "the older hams...were very helpful and tolerant of a young high school student. It convinced me that I wanted to study electrical engineering." With bachelors and masters degrees from the Universities of Illinois and Wisconsin respectively he began his career in 1947 with the Centralab Division of Globe Union, Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before being hired by Texas Instruments.

Extractions: It’s true that in some regards we are approaching the limits of silicon technology. Today, semiconductor chips can pack up to 100 million transistors. Features have shrunk to such tiny sizes that electrons can leak from one circuit to another. That’s a challenge chip manufacturers and designers have to face. It’s a challenge based on the fundamentals of physics and some say that makes it an insurmountable challenge. But we’ve faced insurmountable challenges before and continued to make progress at incredible rates. That’s what engineering is all about–making the "impossible" practical. Efforts will be aimed at producing faster processing speeds and lowering power usage. More accurate and powerful analog circuits will deliver a seamless connection between the digital world and the real world. These advances will put more technology in to your pocket than existed in the entire world 40 years ago.

Homecoming 2001! By Laura Schmitt As the saying goes: ones fortune may also be anothers misfortune. Fortunately for U of I, Jack Kilby (BSEE 47) scored 497 on his College Board exams. Unfortunately for MIT, this was three points short of the requirement for admission in 1941. I had a very strong urge to go to MIT, Kilby said as he recalled how he ended up at Illinois. My dad had gone to school here, and he still knew Professor Payne, who was the head of the EE department. [My father] called the week before school started and described my problem. Professor Payne said, Well fine, send him over. Well do what we can. If there was any paperwork involved, I never saw it.

Trick birthday celebration and symposium First ECE graduate to win world's top scientific award By Laura Schmitt U of I electrical engineering alumnus Jack Kilby (BSEE 47) received the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics on December 10 in an award ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden. Kilby was recognized for his part in the invention and development of the integrated circuit (IC), which he first demonstrated on September 12, 1958, while at Texas Instruments. The ECE department will be hosting a campus symposium April 18 to honor Kilby. More information about this event is available at www.ece.uiuc.edu/kilby Kilby shared the prize with Zhores Alferov and Herbert Kroemer, who developed semiconductor heterostructures used in high-speed micro- and optoelectronics. Alferov is a researcher at the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia. He was a visiting scientist at the U of I, working in ECE Professor Nick Holonyak Jr.s lab on heterostructure devices from 1970 to 1971. Kroemer is a researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara. All three inventors work has laid a stable foundation for modern information technology. The birth date of the [IC] is one of the most important birth dates in the history of technology, said Tord Claeson, member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, at the prize award ceremony. Kilbys invention enabled the microelectronics field to grow to become the basis of all modern technology. ICs, or microchips, are pervasive in such things as computers, space probes, cars, medical diagnostic equipment, and electronic watches.
