Jack S. Kilby papers, 1878-2003 (bulk 1970-1998).
Correspondence and other papers relating primarily to Jack Kilbys inventions and projects while an engineer and later a consultant for Texas Instruments Incorporated. Kilbys inventions include the monolithic integrated circuit, also know as the chip or microchip. The papers also document Kilbys work as a consultant and adviser to the GM Hughes Electronic Corporation, Semiconductor Research Corporation, and the U.S. Dept. of Defense.
Subjects include capacitors; circuits; electronic miniature calculators; electrostatic display system; Kilbys teaching machine and system; microelectronics; military, industrial, and commercial applications of microchip technology; military service with the U.S. Army Signal Corps and deployment with the Office of Strategic Services to Burma, India, and China during World War II; particles; patents; semiconductors; a solar energy project, Project Illinois, using silicon technology to generate electrical power; telephone answering devices and telephone and paging devices; and the wristwatch.
Correspondents include Willis Adcock, J.F. Bucy, Janet K. Cameron, Stephen P. Emmons, Al Gross, Patrick E. Haggerty, Kazuo Hashimoto, Peter Johnson, Ann Kilby, Jane Kilby, Jay W. Lathrop, Charles H. Phipps, and Wilbur A. Porter.
