	TI People \| Jack Kilby
		During the summer of that year, working with borrowed and improvised equipment, he conceived and built the first electronic circuit in which all of the components, both active and passive, were fabricated in a single piece of semiconductor material half the size of a paper clip.
		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.
		Jack Kilby received the Nobel Prize in Physics on December 10.

	Jack S. Kilby, an Inventor of the Microchip, Is Dead at 81 - New York Times
		Jack S. Kilby, an electrical engineer whose invention of the integrated circuit gave rise to the information age and heralded an explosion of consumer electronics products in the last 50 years, from personal computers to cellphones, died Monday in Dallas.
		Kilby designed shortly after arriving at Texas Instruments in 1958 served as the basis for modern microelectronics, transforming a technology that permitted the simultaneous manufacturing of a mere handful of transistors into a chip industry that routinely places billions of Lilliputian switches in the area of a fingernail.
		Kilby and Dr. Noyce, then with Fairchild Semiconductor, were named as inventors in their companies' applications for patents for the integrated circuit.

	Jack Kilby Summary
		Kilby was recognized for his achievements by a steady series of promotions at TI which, however, increasingly distanced him from actual inventing.
		Kilby and Noyce both went on record repeatedly stating that they should be viewed as independent co-creators; but since Kilby was working for Texas Instruments and Noyce for Fairchild Semiconductor, a company he helped establish, the issue assumed the character of an inter-company rivalry.
