06/22/2005 02:56 AMSAN FRANCISCO - Jack Kilby, whose work in the late 1950s on the
integrated circuit paved the way for the modern computing era, died
Monday in Dallas at the age of 81 after a brief struggle against
cancer, Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) announced Tuesday.
The Nobel Prize-winning engineer developed one of the first
integrated circuits, a collection of transistors organized to work on
computing tasks. Kilby and TI built an integrated circuit in 1958, and
filed for a patent for the device in 1959, a few months before Intel
Corp. co-founder Robert Noyce also filed for an integrated circuit
patent while employed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp.
Fairchild and TI eventually settled their legal differences over
the creation of the first integrated circuit and cross-licensed their
technologies, allowing the semiconductor industry to flourish.
But Kilby was also responsible for several other groundbreaking
inventions while employed by TI, including a handheld electronic
calculator and a thermal printer, TI said in a release.
"Jack was one of the true pioneers of the semiconductor industry,"
said TI President and Chief Executive Officer Rich Templeton, in the
release. "Every engineer, myself included, owes no small part of their
livelihood to the work Jack Kilby did here at Texas Instruments. We
will miss him."
Kilby worked for TI from 1958 to 1983, holding several management
positions over his tenure. He was also a professor at Texas A&M
University from 1978 to 1984.
He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 for his
contributions to the development of the integrated circuit.
Kilby leaves two daughters, five grandaugthers and a son-in-law, TI
said. Funeral arrangements have not been
finalized.

users to adopt these new processors right away, and in the short term,
businesses may not want to make the switch, either.
