The silicon chip was first issued in 1987 in Australia, in the English language. The integrated circuit, otherwise referred to as ‘The Chip,’ was first discovered by both Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. Silicon chips are manufactured through a chemical process that has been continuously improved over the past forty years.This can be made much smaller than a discrete circuit made from independent components.ICs can be made very compact, having up to several billion transistors and other electronic components in an area the size of a fingernail.
