Even from the beginning, the semiconductor industry was characterised by a high innovation rate. A spectacular moment was the appearance of the integrated circuits on the market, allowing high cuts of price and performance growth. The first integrated circuit (reported by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce) was not a sudden discovery, being prepared by previous devices. Invented in 1958, the solid-state circuit was developed in 1959, when the planar technique arises. This was the milestone for subsequent development of the monolithic integrated circuits, containing bipolar and unipolar (mostly MOS) transistors, based on a silicon substrate. The global market for semiconductor devices increased with 15% per year in the last twenty years, reaching $ 140 billion in 1997.
