On April 25, 1961, the patent was filed in the integrated circuit. It was not the first time the integration of several transistors on the same chip was considered (Jack Kilby had patented systems of this type in 1958) but the patent of 1961 is the first to use silicon - still used Nowadays - as the basis for the integrated circuit.
The term "integrated circuit" is very broad, ranging from simple assembly of transistors of an amplifier to the billions of transistors on a modern processor. In the majority of integrated circuits, it still uses a common basis: a silicon wafer, whose size varies depending on the technologies, and interconnections with copper or aluminum between transistors.
On the first integrated circuits, we worked with other substrates such as germanium or gallium arsenide. In practice, some fifty years, integrated circuits have become ubiquitous in our lives, our radio through our computer appliances, cars, etc..
