Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments invented the integrated circuit in 1958, and wide-scale production followed shortly thereafter in the early 60's. The transistor was invented by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, for which they got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1956. (Interestingly, Bardeen got a second Nobel Prize for the theory of superconductivity in 1972.) Semiconductors themselves were invented by God a while before that. <g>
