集成电路的发展状况和水平已经成为衡量电子计算机和微电子科技发展的主要尺度，在纪念集成电路发明４０周年之际，不但要怀念和学习发明者的业绩和贡献，而且到了搞清楚它的发明过程、发明者和发明时间的时候。本文试图通过搜集到的大量材料，特别是为此做过贡献的科学家的回忆、档案，将几十年来说法纷坛的这些问题做出分析和说明。本文从原始资料出发，阐述了集成电路发明的过程，得出Ｇ.Ｗ．Ａ．达默只是提出了集成电路的设想和初步方案，Ｉ．Ｍ．洛斯等的硅步进器件只是它的发明先驱，而其第一发明者是美国的Ｊ．基尔比，发明时间为１９５８年９月１２日。Ｒ．诺伊斯可以看作第二发明者，他从早期集成电路结构的其他方面做出了贡献，时间约在１９５９年２－３月。 The status and level of the development of integrated circuits have become the major measure of the development of computer science and microelectronics. In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the invention of integrated circuits, we not only miss and learn the achievements and contributions of the inventors, but also come to understand its invention Process, inventor and inventor of time. This article attempts to analyze and explain the problems that have been going on for decades through the large amount of materials collected, especially the memories and files of scientists who have contributed to this. This article sets out from the original data, expounds the process of the invention of the integrated circuit, obtains G.W. A. Dammer just put forward the concept of integrated circuits and the initial program, I. M. Silicon stepping devices such as Los are just a pioneer of its invention, and its first inventor was American J. Kilby, invented on September 12, 1958. R. Noyce could be seen as a second inventor, who contributed to other aspects of the early integrated circuit architecture, around February-March 1959.
