Integrated circuit

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000003

  1. A set of electronic circuits on a small flat piece of semiconductor material, typically silicon. It integrates many transistors, resistors, and capacitors into a single miniature package. ICs are the fundamental building blocks of almost all modern electronic equipment, ranging from simple logic gates to complex microprocessors.

  2. Many transistors (anywhere from several to billions) combined to make a small circuit on a chip
