Until' 1958 when Jack Kilby came up with the solution to the cumbersome and bulky circuits in the computers. His idea was to make all the components and the chip out of the same block (monolith) of semiconductor material or integrated circuit chip, which largely contributed to the miniaturization of earlier computer device.
