		It was a relatively simple device that Jack Kilby showed to a handful of co-workers gathered in TI’s semiconductor lab more than 40 years ago—only a transistor and other components on a slice of germanium.
		So Kilby began searching for an alternative, and in the process decided the only thing a semiconductor house could make cost effectively was a semiconductor.
		The invention of Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, also known as "the chip", has been recognized as one of the most important innovations and significant achievements in the history of humankind.
