This clip from a 1967 promotional film by Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation featured Dr. Harry Sello and Dr. Jim Angell describing integrated circuit design and development. Fairchild fabricated its first planar integrated circuit, comprising just four transistors and five resistors, in 1960, kicking off the integrated circuit revolution.

This month in history: In 1958 when Jack Kilby invented the first integrated circuit (IC), he was living our passion to create a better world by making electronics more affordable through semiconductors. The chip Jack invented changed the world of electronics forever – improving our lives through safer, more powerful and efficient technologies. We think of this as Engineering Progress – it’s what we’ve been doing for decades. | Texas Instruments
