DESCRIPTION:Who Invented the Integrated Circuit?\n\nGene Freeman\, Retired 
 R and D Manager\n\nPikes Peak Section Life Member\n\nThe integrated circui
 t is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century and continues its 
 dominance as an electronic packaging technology in the 21st Century.\n\nTh
 is talk focusses on its beginnings and looks at the controversies around a
 ttribution of “who was first?”\n\nWe start with the invention of the t
 ransistor in the 1940’s at Bell Labs.  We then talk about the motivation
  for the Integrated Circuit and look at the implementation approaches.  Fi
 nally\, we examine the Integrated Circuit patent fight between Texas Instr
 uments and Fairchild Semiconductor. We conclude with the Nobel Prize award
 ed to Jack Kilby from Texas Instruments in the year 2000. As a special bon
 us we find out what Kilby’s prototype was worth in 2014.\n\nSpeaker(s):
