CONFIDENTIAL Birth of Semiconductor Industry In 1890 U.S. census faced a serious problem. The Census Bureau predicted the time to condense and correlate the collected data by manual tabulation to be 10 years. Since the length of time was not acceptable, the Census Bureau had to sponsor a contest for a new method of processing census data. CONFIDENTIAL Birth of Semiconductor Industry (continues) Herman Hollerith submitted his winning invention of a mechanical tabulating (card punching) machine driven by electrical motor, which completed processing census data in 6 weeks. Mr. Hollerith went on and formed Tabulating Machine Company, which evolved into International Business Machines Corp. (IBM). Card-punch machine CONFIDENTIAL The Industry Evolution The Original Telegraph Machine The computation technology continued to progress in the 1930s with the development of “computers” using electromechanical switches used in telegraphs. CONFIDENTIAL Advancements The Conception of First Computer From Charles Babbage (English investor) 1830’s idea, the First computer (Mark I) was conceived. Mark I was based on electromechanical relays, The work was initiated by Harvard University under the direction of Howard Aiken in 1941. Mark I had special programs to handle logarithms and trigonometric functions. Mathematicians were amazed at the power of the Mark I, as it could, in one CONFIDENTIAL day, complete the task it would take a man six months. Mark I Calculator Advancements The Development of First Electronic Computer 2 occupied ~3000 ft , weighed 50 tones, During world war II intelligent ENIAC generated large quantities of heat, required the machines were developed to service of small power station and cost $500,000. crack secret codes. In 1946, The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), under the direction of J.P. Eckert and John Mauchly of the University of Pennsylvania, was the first digital computer CONFIDENTIAL built. Advancements The Computer Revolution Continued ENIAC was a thousand times faster than any previous machine; however, it required a constant monitoring. Mauchly and Eckert sold out the company to Remington Rand, of substantial financial resources. Rand’s completed their first project UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer), which made the computer "automatic " UNIVAC was was delivered to the CONFIDENTIAL Census Bureau in March of 1951. UNIVAC The Computer Advancement Continued The development of the "stored memory“ in the UNIVAC prompted Grace Hopper, a naval engineer, to begin work on a program which converted english to binary, the computer language today. As a result, people would no longer have to use "machine language” in writing programs, which sped up the programming by enormous amounts. CONFIDENTIAL Binary System 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 The Computer Revolution Development of Transistor In 1945, three engineers from Bell Lab (William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain) revolutionized the world of computers by developing a small, more efficient device of transferring electrical impulses. The transistor replaced the previous vacuum tube, which was the base of all computers, and electronic equipment. This technology gave birth to the Integrated Circuit, making the market CONFIDENTIAL for Personal Computer to take off. First transistor built on workbench at Bell laboratories. This transistor was possibly the first ever commercially available The Computer Revolution Development of Integrated Circuit (IC) The dominance of discrete devices in solid-state came to an end in 1959 when Jack Kilby, a new engineer at Texas Instrument in Dallas, Texas formed a complete circuit on a single piece of semiconductor material, germanium, combining several components in one called Integrated Circuit (IC). Kilby's invention revolutionized the electronics industry. Kilby’s first IC CONFIDENTIAL The Computer Revolution Development of Integrated Circuit (IC) continued Separate but dense circuit wires were used to test chip designs of electronic components before a prototype is etched into a silicon wafer and interconnects. Interconnects etched into a Si-wafer. Connection through wires. CONFIDENTIAL How Computer Chips are Manufactured?
