The Nobel prize for physics was awarded to Jack St. Clair Kilby:

Who invented:

"the monolithic integrated circuit - the microchip - some 30 years ago at
Texas Instruments (TI) laid the conceptual and technical foundation for the
entire field of modern microelectronics. It was this breakthrough that made
possible the sophisticated high-speed computers and large-capacity
semiconductor memories of today's information age. "
