The patent was issued to Jack Kilby for his invention of “Miniaturized Electronic Circuits,” now known as integrated circuits, which he assigned to his employer, Texas Instruments. A few months after Kilby's demonstration in 1964, a significantly improved IC device was independently invented by Robert Noyce.
