Birth from transistor to integrated circuit

The basis of the computer is 1 and 0, with 1 and 0, just like math has 10 numbers, language has 26 letters, and human genes have AGCT, whICh can represent everything in the world through coding and logical operations. The first computer in 1946 was implemented with vacuum tubes 1 and 0. A total of 18,800 vacuum tubes were used, about half the size of a classroom and six elephants.

By incorporating different elements into semiconductor materials, the world’s first transistor was manufactured at Bell Labs in the United States in 1947. transistors can also realize the function of vacuum tubes, and their volume is much smaller than that of the electron tubes. There are several large computer rooms made of electron tubes, and transistors have been reduced to several cabinets.

Interconnecting the necessary transistors, resistors, capacitors, and inductors in a circuit and wiring together to produce a small or a few small pieces of semiconductor wafer or dielectric substrate, then packaged in a package, with the required The micro structure of the circuit function, this is the integrated circuit, also called the chip and IC. All components in the integrated circuit have been structurally integrated, making electronic components a big step toward miniaturization, low power consumption, intelligence, and high reliability.

The inventors of the integrated circuit are Jack Kilby (Ge-based integrated circuits) and Robert Neuss (Si (Si)-based integrated circuits). Most of today's semiconductor industry applications are silicon-based integrated circuits.

In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip in the future would roughly double every 18 months (which is still basically applicable). This is the birth of the famous Moore's Law. In July 1968, Robert Neuss and Gordon Moore resigned from Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and founded a new company, Intel Corporation, whose English name Intel is an abbreviation for "Integrated Electronics". .

Semiconductors are located in the middle reaches of the electronics industry. Upstream are electronic materials and equipment. Semiconductors and passive components and module devices are connected through integrated circuit boards, constitute the core components of smart phones, PCs and other electronic products, and bear the information carrier and transmission functions, and become the cornerstone of the information-based society.

Semiconductors are mainly divided into integrated circuits and Semiconductor discrete devices. Semiconductor discrete devices include discrete devices such as semiconductor diodes and transistors, as well as optoelectronic devices and sensors.

Jinan LuJing Semiconductor Co., Ltd. mainly produces and sells discrete components such as Lu Jing brand semiconductor diodes and triodes. If you have any needs, you can enter the official website home page for understanding.
