"The integration of tiny transistors led to the first microchip in 1958 built by both Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor."

Let's get it straight. Kilby built an intergrated circuit while Noyce is 'reputed' to have made 'notes' about one at about the same time. See if you can find Robert Noyce's name anywhere on the Nobel Prize awarded to Jack Kilby for this invention.
