A microscope image of an integrated circuit die used to control LCDs.The pinouts are the dark circles surrounding the integrated circuit.. An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or simply chip, is a set of electronic circuits, consisting of various electronic components (such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors) and their interconnections.

Engineer using an early IC-designing workstation to analyze a section of a circuit design cut on rubylith, circa 1979. Integrated circuit design, semiconductor design, chip design or IC design, is a sub-field of electronics engineering, encompassing the particular logic and circuit design techniques required to design integrated circuits, or ICs
To obtain better performance and lower costs, semiconductor manufacturers reduce the device geometries of integrated circuits. With each reduction the associated operating voltage must also be reduced in order to maintain the same basic operational characteristics of the transistors.
His response was a brief article entitled "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits". [ 1 ] [ 9 ] [ b ] Within his editorial, he speculated that by 1975 it would be possible to contain as many as 65 000 components on a single quarter-square-inch (~ 1.6 cm 2 ) semiconductor.
A three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) is a MOS (metal-oxide semiconductor) integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by stacking as many as 16 or more ICs and interconnecting them vertically using, for instance, through-silicon vias (TSVs) or Cu-Cu connections, [1] [2] so that they behave as a single device to achieve performance ...
The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. It is one of the most popular timing ICs due to its flexibility and price. Derivatives provide two or four timing circuits in one package. [2]
Integrated injection logic (IIL, I 2 L, or I2L) is a class of digital circuits built with multiple collector bipolar junction transistors (BJT). [1] When introduced it had speed comparable to TTL yet was almost as low power as CMOS, making it ideal for use in VLSI (and larger) integrated circuits. The gates can be made smaller with this logic ...
