Electric Circuits from nobelprize.org
The integrated circuit is nothing more than a very advanced electric circuit. An electric circuit is made from different electrical components such as transistors, resistors, capacitors and diodes, that are connected to each other in different ways. These components have different behaviors.
The transistor acts like a switch. It can turn electricity on or off, or it can amplify current. It is used for example in computers to store information, or in stereo amplifiers to make the sound signal stronger.
The resistor limits the flow of electricity and gives us the possibility to control the amount of current that is allowed to pass. Resistors are used, among other things, to control the volume in television sets or radios.
The capacitor collects electricity and releases it all in one quick burst; like for instance in cameras where a tiny battery can provide enough energy to fire the flashbulb.
The diode stops electricity under some conditions and allows it to pass only when these conditions change. This is used in, for example, photocells where a light beam that is broken triggers the diode to stop electricity from flowing through it.
These components are like the building blocks in an electrical construction kit. Depending on how the components are put together when building the circuit, everything from a burglar alarm to a computer microprocessor can be constructed.
so from information up top we can understand intregrated circuit was made by combination from transistor, resistors, capacitors and diodes work togather to create electric signal or binary code and with signal we can make system works,and thats idea was found by Jack Kilby's from texas instrument.
idea was to make all the components and the chip out of the same block (monolith) of semiconductor material so it like make 8 bit computer to fit with 3 another 8 bit computer to create 32bit computer but in one inchs size even when he can make it thats almost perfect BUT not perfect at all because half years later
THIS GUYS coming for make the new era perfect for intregreted circuit until NOW
Robert Noyce
This was done by adding the metal as a final layer and then removing some of it so that the wires needed to connect the components were formed. This made the integrated circuit more suitable for mass production. Besides being one of the early pioneers of the integrated circuit, Robert Noyce also was one of the co-founders of Intel. Intel is one of the largest manufacturers of integrated circuits in the world.
