This month in history, 63 years ago, TIer Jack Kilby ushered in the era of modern electronics with the invention of the integrated circuit (IC). The chip Jack invented helped improve our lives through safer, more powerful and efficient technologies. We think of this as Engineering Progress – it’s what we’ve been doing for decades. #Innovation | Texas Instruments India

This clip from a 1967 promotional film by Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation featured Dr. Harry Sello and Dr. Jim Angell describing integrated circuit design and development. Fairchild fabricated its first planar integrated circuit, comprising just four transistors and five resistors, in 1960, kicking off the integrated circuit revolution.
