Robert Norton Noyce
(1927 - 1990) also developed the integrated circuit with a more
practical approach to scaling the size of the circuit. He became a
founder of Fairchild Semiconductor Company in 1957.
In 1959, he and
a co-worker developed the design of a semiconducting chip; the same
idea occurred independently that same year to Jack Kilby of Texas
Instruments. Noyce and Kilby were both granted patents.
In 1968 he formed Intel with Gordon Moore, and in 1971 Intel
designer Ted Hoff developed the first microprocessor, the 4004.
