1960 Robert Noyce invented the planar integrated circuit.
1963 Fairchild hired Robert Widlar to design analog operational amplifiers using Fairchild's process.
Noyce's invention was enabled by the planar process developed by Jean Hoerni.
The industry preferred Fairchild's invention over Texas Instruments' because the transistors in planar ICs were interconnected by a thin film deposit, whereas Texas Instruments' invention required fine wires to connect the individual circuits.
