Kev sib xyaw ua ke hauv xov hluav taws xob nyob saum npoo ntawm cov phaj hluav taws xob semiconductor tseem hu ua thin-film integrated circuit. Lwm hom tuab-zaj duab xis ua ke Circuit Court (hybrid sib koom ua ke) yog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob me me uas muaj cov khoom siv sib luag (semiconductor devices) thiab cov khoom sib txig sib xyaw ua ke rau hauv txheej hluav taws xob lossis hluav taws xob.
Los ntawm xyoo 1949 txog 1957, Werner Jacobi, Jeffrey Dummer, Sidney Darlington, Yasuo Tarui tsim Prototype, tab sis cov kab ke sib txuas niaj hnub raug tsim los ntawm Jack Kilby xyoo 1958. Rau qhov no, nws yeej qhov khoom plig Nobel hauv Physics hauv xyoo 2000, tab sis Robert Noyce, uas kuj tau tsim kho qhov niaj hnub thiab kev siv sib txuam ua ke nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, tuag ntxov li xyoo 1990.
