三十年前,正当其它半导体制造商忙于改良硅晶体管时,硅晶体管发明者——美国德州仪器公司的科学家们已经为第二次工业革命近出了最重要的一步,成功地创造了当时被称为“奇迹芯片”的集成电路,同时亦为美国德州仪器公司今天的辉煌成就奠定了坚实的基础。集成电路是将由多个晶体管组成的电子电路集成在 Thirty years ago, just as other semiconductor makers were busy improving silicon transistors, scientists at Texas Instruments, the inventor of silicon transistors, have taken the single most important step toward the second industrial revolution, successfully creating what was then The integrated circuit, called the Miracle Chip, also laid a solid foundation for the brilliant achievements of Texas Instruments today. An integrated circuit integrates an electronic circuit composed of a plurality of transistors
