Geoffrey stupid

Geoffrey Dummer (1955)

Geoffrey William Arnold Dummer MBE (born February 25, 1909 in Kingston upon Hull ; † September 9, 2002 ) was a British electronics engineer who was the first to be credited with the design of the integrated circuit in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

However, the German inventor Werner Jacobi filed a patent for a semiconductor amplifier in 1949 (i.e. before Dummer's publication in 1952), which can be described as the first integrated circuit.
