Hundreds gather at the Computer History Museum to celebrate the anniversary of the invention of the integrated circuit and two of its inventors, Gordon Moore and Jay Last. Erica Ogg is a CNET News ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

Optical feedback from on-chip components fundamentally limits stable laser operation in photonic integrated circuits. In a ...

The miniaturization of electronic systems and the diffusion of components that generate a lot of heat make the role of thermal analysis more and more important as a tool to guarantee the good ...

September 12th marks the arrival of one of the greatest inventions of all time, and it happened 65 years ago at Dallas-based Texas Instruments. TI employee Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

Back in 2018 we reported on the first silicon integrated circuit to be produced in a homemade chip fab. It was the work of [Sam Zeloof], and his Z1 chip was a modest six-transistor amplifier. Not one ...
