Engineering Tripos Part IIA
The First Transistor
New York Times
“A device called a transistor,
which has several applications in
radio where a vacuum tube
ordinarily is employed, was
demonstrated for the first time
yesterday at Bell Telephone
Laboratories, 463 West Street,
where it was invented.”
23rd December 1947

The First Integrated Circuit
1958, Jack Kilby, a young electrical
engineer at Texas Instruments, figured
out how to put all the circuit elements
- transistors, resistors, and capacitors,
along with their interconnecting
wiring - into a single piece of
germanium.
His rough prototype was a thin piece
of germanium about one-half inch
long containing five separate
components linked together by tiny
wires.
The Microprocessor
4004: Intel’s first microprocessor
The 4-bit 4004 ran at
108 kHz & contained
2300 transistors.
The speed of this 1971 device is
estimated at 0.06 MIPS.
By comparison, Intel's new P6 runs
at 133 MHz, contains 5.5 million
transistors, and executes 300 MIPS
(million instructions/s).
Intel 8086/8088 and IBM PC
1978: 8086/8088 Microprocessor
A pivotal sale to IBM’s new
personal computer division
made the 8088 the brains of
IBM’s new ‘hit product’ -- the
IBM PC.
This was followed in 1982 by
the 80286, on which was based
the IBM PC/AT (Advanced
Technology) computer.
Intel 80386 and 80486
The Intel ‘386 (1985) contained
275,000 transistors. It was Intel’s
first ‘32-bit’ chip, and was
capable of ‘multi-tasking’.
The ‘486 (1989, shown) was
significantly more powerful, and
was the first to offer a built-in
math. co-processor, greatly
speeding up transcendental
functions.
Intel Pentium
The Pentium was first introduced
in 1993; it was designed to allow
computers to handle “real-world”
data, e.g. speech, sound & images.
The Pentium II (1997) contained
7.5 million transistors and is
packaged in a unique format - SEC
or Single Edge Contact.
Scaling - Intel Pentium

Shrink minimum dimension to 0.6 m
 Raise clock to 100 MHz - 50% more throughput
 Lower power consumption
 Latest P4 uses L=0.09 m  fclk=3800MHz !!

Gordon Moore forecast exponential growth in the IC industry
.. so far his prediction has been stunningly accurate
.. the billion transistor IC is just over the horizon!
