2. Kilby and Noyce invented monolithic principle and planar process, respectively, which create electronic devices and components using semiconductors (e.g., silicon and germanium) and semiconductor processes, leading to the brave new world of miniaturization. They are considered as co-inventors of Integrated Circuits (ICs). Kilby won the Nobel Prize in 2000; but, Noyce did not. Noyce died in 1990, and Nobel prizes are not awarded posthumously
