The electric signals took time to go through the circuit, thus slowing the pc. The invention of the built-in circuit by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce solved this downside by making all of the parts and the chip out of the identical block of semiconductor material. The circuits could possibly be made smaller, and the manufacturing course of could be automated. This led to the idea of integrating all elements on a single-crystal silicon wafer, which led to small-scale integration in the early Nineteen Sixties, and then medium-scale integration in …
