By 1960, magnetic core was the dominant memory technology, although there were still some new machines using drums and delay lines during the 1960s. Magnetic thin film and rod memory were used on some second-generation machines, but advances in core technology meant they remained niche players until semiconductor memory displaced both core and ...

The first planar monolithic integrated circuit (IC) chip was demonstrated in 1960. The idea of integrating electronic circuits into a single device was born when the German physicist and engineer Werner Jacobi developed and patented the first known integrated transistor amplifier in 1949 and the British radio engineer Geoffrey Dummer proposed to integrate a variety of standard electronic ...
Kilby's invention was a hybrid integrated circuit (hybrid IC). [162] It had external wire connections, which made it difficult to mass-produce. [163] Noyce came up with his own idea of an integrated circuit half a year after Kilby. [164] Noyce's invention was a monolithic integrated circuit (IC) chip.
