Integrated Circuit By Jack Kilby
Integrated Circuit By Jack Kilby. This video, Jack Kilby and the Integrated Circuit, was created by Ashley Beach and Bradley Colson, students in the K-State, Salina, Digital Media program. Kilby's germanium integrated circuit generated interest from the military but wasn't a financial success initially.
Instead of using discrete transistors, resistors, and capacitors to form a circuit, Kilby's IC design integrated a transistor, a capacitor, and the equivalent of three resistors all.

We've covered the story of how the integrated circuit came to be, and the ensuing patent battle that would eventually award priority to someone else. Jack Kilby's invention of the integrated circuit was the genesis of almost every electronic product used today. Allowed the next generation of computers.
