Would a 'suppression device' for computer chips have health risks?

One of the settings I've been working on is a retro-futuristic world with a technology level and aesthetic of the early cold war era, something quite similar to the setting of the Alien franchise in terms of technology.

One of the reasons that technology has changed so much since then is the rapid development of computer chips. If they had never been developed, or were impossible to use, we might be very close to that technology level today.

If computer chips were prevented through the use of a 'suppression field' by malevolent aliens, could this have negative impacts on human biology? The field would work by interfering with, or preventing, the n-p junction interactions in computer chips. I don't have enough knowledge of the human nervous system to be sure, so any info will be appreciated.
