brief introduction
Integrated circuits whose circuits are fabricated on the surface of semiconductor chips are also called thin film integrated circuits. Another kind of thick film integrated circuit is a miniaturized circuit composed of independent semiconductor devices and passive components integrated into a substrate or circuit board.
From 1949 to 1957, Werner Jacobi, Jeffrey Dummer, Sidney Darlington and Yasuo Tarui all developed prototypes, but modern integrated circuits were developed by jack kilby in 6543.
It won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000, but robert noyce, who also developed modern practical integrated circuits at the same time, died before 1990.
