DESCRIPTION:The integrated circuit is one of the greatest inventions of the
  20th century and continues its dominance as an electronic packaging techn
 ology in the 21st Century.\n\nThis talk focusses on its beginnings and loo
 ks at the controversies around attribution of “who was first?”\n\nWe s
 tart with the invention of the transistor by William Shockley in the 1940
 ’s at Bell Labs.  We then talk about the motivation for the Integrated C
 ircuit and look at the implementation approaches.  Finally\, we examine th
 e Integrated Circuit patent fight between Texas Instruments (Jack Kilby) a
 nd Fairchild Semiconductor (Robert Noyce). We conclude with the Nobel Priz
 e awarded to Jack Kilby from Texas Instruments in the year 2000. As a spec
 ial bonus we find out what Kilby’s IC prototype was worth in 2014.\n\nCo
