History of electronics

Electronics engineering is also called electronics and communication engineering is an electrical engineering discipline which utilizes nonlinear and active electricals components such as semiconductor devices, especially transistors and diodes to design electronics circuits, devices, integrated circuits and their systems.
Electronics engineering field that covers the subfield such as Analog electronics, digital electronics consumer electronic, embedded system and power electronics. 
Many individuals contributed Electrical experiments and information built the 'base' for Electronics associated with Wireless developments.

 William Gilbert in 1544-1603 Researched Magnetics and Static Electricity and Distinguished
between Magnetism and static electricity.

Pieter Van Musschenbroek:

Pieter van Musschenbroek came up with almost a similar device in the form of Leyden jar which is typically known as the first capacitor in 1746 at the university of Leyden ( Leiden) in Holland. The unit of capacitance was as the " Jar" until 1872, when the SI of "Farad" was assigned.
 Electronic's actual history began with the invention of vacuum diode by J.A. Flemming, in 1897; and, after that, in 1906 a vacuum triode was implemented by Lee De Forest to amplify electrical signals. He was honored as the "father of radio". This led to introduction of tetrode and pentode tubes that dominated the world until the World War-II.

 Walter schottky (1886-1997)

Walter schottky was a German physicist. He defined shot noise-random electron noise in thermionic tubes, and invented the multiple grid vacuum tube.

Edwin Howard Armstrong ( 1890-1954)

Edwin Howard Armstrong was an inventor and an American electrical engineer. He invented electronic oscillator and regenerative feedback. In 1917, he invented "super- heterodyne receiver" that could select among radio signals or station and could receive distant signals. He also invented wide band frequency modulation (FM) in 1933.
Subsequently, the transistor era began with the junction transistor invention in 1948. Even though, this particular invention got a Nobel Prize . The use of germanium and silicon semiconductor materials made these transistor gain the popularity and wide-acceptance usage in different electronics circuits. 
The concepts of the integrated circuit was proposed in 1952 by Geoffrey W.A.Dummer, a British electronics expert with Royal Radar Establishment. 
The invention of (ICs) that drastically changed the electronic circuits and the entire circuit got integrated on a single chip which outcome make it very chiefly and less in size and weight electronic devices and further carried forward with the JFETS and MOSFETS that were developed during 1951 to 1958 by improving the devices designing process and by making more reliable and powerful transistors.
 Digital integrated circuits were yet another robust IC development that changed  the overall architecture of computers.The bipolar transistor continues to be an important device both as a discrete device and a par [ of integrated circuit (IC)].
In digital circuits such as processors and memory, the MOS ( metal oxide semiconductor ) FET ( field-effect transistor) has dominating the bipolar transistor because of the high integration density and low power consumption it offers.
Jack Kilby in 1958, demonstrated the first integrated circuit ( bipolar transistor, resistor, capacitor ) fabricated on a single piece of germanium. Shrinking of the smallest definable dimension on the chip has enabled a huge number of transistors to the integrated on a one chip.
 These ICs were developed with transistor- transistor logic (TTL), integrated injection logic (I2L) and emitter coupled logic (ECL) technologies after these digital ICs employed PMOS, NMOS fabrication design technologies, gradually in 1968, Marcian Hoff invented the microprocessor.
