It seems the headline is a bit editorialized with 'Microchip' as he does not seem to have been involved with subsequent developments of the integrated circuit, what microchips commonly refer to.
Though, after checking, there apparently are no clear cut 'inventors' of the integrated circuit, which strikes me as a bit odd.
- dang 4y agoThe article seems to imply that "silicon transistor" would be more precise than "microchip" so I've put that in the title now, at least until someone explains how it's wrong.
- deepnotderp 4y agoIn so far as the modern monolithic integrated circuit is concerned, it’s pretty indisputably Bob Noyce imo
- pclmulqdq 4y agoKilby from TI is often credited as inventing the integrated circuit. But so is Noyce. And a few others. I think Kilby is actually the correct answer.
