Jack Kilby, in full Jack St. Clair Kilby, (born Nov. 8, 1923, Jefferson City, Mo., U.S.—died June 20, 2005, Dallas, Texas), American engineer and one of the inventors of the integrated circuit, a system of interconnected transistors on a single microchip. In 2000 Kilby was a corecipient, with Herbert Kroemer and Zhores Alferov, of the Nobel ...

Jack Kilby Biographical T he Nobel Committee has asked me to discuss my life story, so I guess I should begin at the beginning. I was born in 1923 in Great Bend, Kansas, which got its name because the town was built at the spot where the Arkansas River bends in the middle of the state.

Jack Kilby was born on November 8 1923 in Jefferson City, Missouri. Kilby was raised in Great Bend, Kansas. He earned a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois and a M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin.

Who is Jack Kilby? Jack Kilby was an American inventor and engineer. He is best known for his work with Texas Instruments where he invented the first integrated circuit. What did Jack Kilby discover? Jack Kilby discovered it was possible to miniaturize electrical components through the use of silicon. When did Jack Kilby invent the integrated ...

Jack Kilby’s demonstration of the first working integrated circuit (IC) in 1958 revolutionized the field of microelectronics. Instead of using discrete transistors, resistors, and capacitors to form a circuit, Kilby’s IC design integrated a transistor, a capacitor, and the equivalent of three resistors all on the same chip.

A round the Dallas campus of Texas Instruments, Jack Kilby is known as the humble giant, a nod to his modesty and his six-foot, six-inch frame. But he’s a giant in terms of his accomplishments ...

Jack Kilby began his career at Texas Instruments in 1958, where he went on to invent arguably the most important invention of the 20th century: the integrated circuit, also known as the microchip. The integrated circuit allowed for the miniaturization of electronic devices, which makes most of our modern consumer electronic devices possible.
