A lokacin da ake kira Juyin Juya Halin Masana'antu na Biyu (c. 1870-1914), an ƙuntata ƙarami zuwa da'irorin lantarki guda biyu da aka yi amfani da su don sarrafa bayanai. An nuna wannan daidaitawa a cikin amfani da bututun iska a cikin kwamfutocin farko na gaba ɗaya. Fasahar ta ba da damar ci gaban transistors a cikin shekarun 1950 sannan kuma tsarin hadin gwiwa (IC) wanda ya biyo baya.

Shi ne na farko da gaske compact transistor cewa za a iya miniaturized da kuma taro-samar da shi don da dama amfani, saboda high scalability da kuma low power consumption, wanda ke haifar da kara transistor density. Wannan ya ba da damar gina kwakwalwan IC masu yawa,  tare da rage farashi-da-transistor yayin da yawan transistor ya karu.

A shekara ta 2004, kamfanonin lantarki suna samar da kwakwalwan silicon IC tare da sauya MOSFETs waɗanda ke da girman fasalin kamar 130 nanometers (nm) kuma ci gaba yana gudana don kwakwalwan 'yan nanometers a cikin girman ta hanyar shirin nanotechnology.
