In 1957, Texas Instruments developed the mesa transistor. Then came some very important events in the late 1950's. Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments developed the first IC using these mesa techniques. Kilby used discrete wire interconnection. See Fig. 4 for a picture of that device. You can see it really was a simple device by our standards today. It has one transistor, a capacitor, and resistor all together on a piece of silicon. This is the first integrated circuit, not really large scale integration. The next thing that happened was at Fairchild, where Jean Hoerni developed the planar process for transistors. In particular, the planar process offered the capability for doing thin-film metal interconnection. Bob Noyce, using this process, made an IC using vapor deposited metal connections, which became public in 1959. [7]
