Robert Noyce is credited with Jack Kilby for the invention of the integrated circuit and co-founded both Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel.
In this 1984 lecture, Robert Noyce reviews the development of the integrated circuit from its infancy in the 1950s to the early-1980s as well as its impact on technology and society. Noyce discusses the innovations in transistors that lead to the creation of the integrated circuit. Next, Robert Noyce talks about the technical challenges of building increasingly more compact and more powerful semiconductors as well as the overall effects of Moore's Law. Finally, Noyce looks ahead to the future of semiconductor development that was uncertain at the time of this lecture, but is now in our past.
Robert N. Noyce was born in Burlington, Iowa and grew up in Grinnell, Iowa. A physics major at Grinnell College, he graduated with a PhD in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1953. William Shockley hired him from Philco Corporation to work at Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories in 1956. With eight other employees he left to found Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in 1957. As general manager of the Fairchild semiconductor operation and a vice president of Fairchild Camera and Instrument, he presided over a decade of innovation in semiconductor technology including co-invention of the integrated circuit. In 1968 Noyce co-founded Intel Corporation with Gordon Moore where he served as President until 1975 when he became Chairman of the Board. He spent much of his later career working to improve the international competitiveness of American industry, including founding and later becoming chairman of the Semiconductor Industry Association. In 1988 Noyce took charge of Sematech, a consortium of semiconductor manufacturers working together and with the United States government. He held 16 patents on semiconductor methods, devices, and structures and numerous awards and honors including the National Medal of Science.

A very modest Iowa boy who truly change the world. Proud to say that he was a friend of my parents.
This man was the real genius behind Silicon Valley.
A technical, business, and cultural revolutionary. A true and brave genius, he's the "greatest American Americans don't know", it has been said. It's true. He quite literally changed the whole world.
Im replying late, but if it's any consolation the article written on Noyce by Tom Wolfe is magnificent. If Noyce isn't known by your average American he should be known by anyone who studies great writing. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I read the Wolfe article on him. What could have been a nerdfest was turned into something far more exciting and interesting.
Legendary scientist and businessman. An icon for emergence of silicon valley.
marvelous to see Bob Noyce on stage!
1) What a shame that there's so much mic feedback throughout the talk. 2) Project Tinkertoy was done by the Navy, not the Air Force. 3) AMAZING piece of history.... what the Computer History Museum does is so very important for our industry.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This a great talk, most talk of the successes alone and don't speak of the failures along the way and the problems they overcame, but Noyce really shows how the worked really hard to get it to work and so many pieces came together from their and other people's contribution.
a truly great man.
google brought me here and i just want to say: respect Robert Noyce and RIP
41:27 "So I think the sky is still the limit..." Prophetic.
CPU chips are actually very complex intergraded circuits which were invented by Bob Noyce.
The hardware alone does simply calculations. Actually the first CPUs by intel were used on scientific calculators during 70's. The advancement of software with the help of many many many transistors does tasks so fast that it seems to be instant and intelligent.
Noyce invented the mass production of intergraded circuits and future computer chips with photo engraving which is still used today. Without that the computers would be only on the hands of governments and huge corporations.
Great video of a great great man! Thank you for posting.
"There was one element, however, that was like Heroin to the Computer Designers. That was Memory. Give them a little bit and they will want a lot more."

Thank you
Greatest of all time
RIP Sir
a humble genius....
Ah' good point, so maybe my dream will come true of being able to get into the guts of digital meets analog! This is where I've been wanting to go for years. As a musician I grew up on guitars and tube amps, but then took up organ some 15-16 years ago. As a tube amp means everything guitar players, so do many qualities of electromechanics,tubes and transistors to the organ player. I am not sold at all on digital technology being capable of properly portraying tone wheels or electrostatic reeds.
riveting.
gotta like it
No expert on the matter but I think a quantum computer still qualifies as digital. It uses the superposition of the qbit(the "maybe") as a way to make more efficient calculations. The main difference between analoge and digital is the way the signal is processed. Analoge is a continuous signal where digital, with various resolutions, is interrupted.
H. B. Day!
He reminds me of Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner.
It's a pity the roll of Geoffrey Dummer of the UK is never mentioned!

Many people like to see ariana grande,justin bieber but forget such a great man.Without him life would be hard !!!
Не думаю, что "без него жизнь была бы тяжелой".
Он со своей командой занял Первое место в гонке технологий. По крайней мере, на постаменте из трех претендентов.
Не было бы его - Первое место занял бы второй.
I don’t think "life would be hard without him."
He and his team took first place in the technology race. At least on a pedestal of three contenders.
If it hadn't been, the first place would have taken the second.
RIP
Where is the credit for the inventor of the 0 ? That's what I want to know
Can you search...
Dr. Evil's father invented the question mark ? :)
Don't think of 0s and 1s in terms of numbers, think of them in absolute terms. On-off, black-white, yes-no. There are no 2s on machine level. Next revolution will be the quantum computer : Yes-No-Maybe ;)
i got here from google :P
He wonders what people would even do with a billion transistors on a chip. If he only knew.
anybody from Spain watching this?
No one from Spain in two years? :(
Me in Espanyol 😊
Funny he mentioned PC meaning printed circuits, and that now it meant something else entirely. I thought he was prescient in referring to political correctness, but already in 1984? No, of course he meant personal computers!
Sorry to say but semiconductor is also in its end . The Moore's law is completely busted. Multiple cores processors are useless.
Remember how much faster was pentium 4 than pentium 3?
Look now Core iX vs core 2 duo.
We now need a chip working on 3 digits 0 1 2
