Toward the Future
With continuing advances in semiconductors, you can look forward to more new amazing encounters with electronic equipment. Imagine calling your day care center to check on your child, and seeing her smiling face in the screen on your cell phone. Imaging turning on the oven from your car phone as you pull out of the parking lot at the end of the day. When you get home, dinner will be nearly done. Imagine setting your car on autopilot, and looking over notes for your next day's meeting on your comming home. Imagine you want to see a movie. You order it from the web, and within a matter of seconds it's ready to view on your television at home.
It sounds like science fiction, but new breakthroughs are only a short stride away8, with the help of technologies being developed at the Kilby Center at Texas Instruments.
Mr. Kilby has been awarded the National Medal of Science and the National Medal of Technology. He was inducted into the National Inventors' Hall of Fame and Texas Instruments named a new $150 million research center for him.The people who still work in the building where the integrated circuit was born are mindful of the invention, but even more aware of the person who invented it.
But the ultimate honor came in 2000, when Jack Kilby received the Nobel Prize in Physics. He was typically modest in accepting the prestigious award. Kilby shares the prize with Zhores Alferov and Herbert Kroemer, who invented and developed fast opto- and microelectronic components based on layered semiconductor heterostructures. Alferov is a researcher at the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kroemer is a German-born researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara. All three inventors’ work has laid a stable foundation for modern information technology.
Jack Kilby is still a consultant for TI and lives in Dallas, Texas.
Task I

Robert noyce
(1927-1990)
A noted visionary and natural leader, Robert Noyce helped to create a new industry when he developed the technology that would eventually become the microchip. Starting up
Robert Noyce, the son of an Iowa minister, showed an early love of tinkering and a fascination for discovering how things work, which he had ample opportunity to indulge as he tore down and rebuilt old Model Ts 1 and discarded gasoline-powered washing machines that he found in the small Iowa towns in which he grew up. The hours Noyce spent unlocking the secrets of these machines, coupled with his innate good nature and easy manner, gave him a patient, down-to-earth leadership style2 that would become a hallmark of his career.
Noyce’s passion for mechanics deepened when he enrolled at Grinnell College in 1946. His goal was a degree in physics, but he spent equal time in engineering classes, where he was introduced to the solid-state transistor, invented in 1947 by a team of scientists headed up by Walter Brattain and William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York. His fascination with the new technology and its potential fueled a lifelong interest in semiconductor theory.
Following graduation from Grinnell, Noyce moved to Boston to pursue a Ph.D. in physical electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After receiving his degree in 1953, he went to work for Philadelphia-based Philco, a radio manufacturer that was assembling a team of scientists to work in its transistor division.
