1, the classification is different
Chip in electronics is a way to miniaturize circuits, and from time to time manufactured on the surface of semiconductor wafers.
Semiconductor refers to a material whose conductivity at room temperature is between that of a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors have a wide range of applications in consumer electronics, communication systems, medical instruments and other fields.
An integrated circuit is a miniature electronic device or component. A certain process is used to interconnect components such as transistors, resistors, capacitors and inductors, and wiring required in a circuit.
2, different characteristics
Chips will be manufactured on the surface of the semiconductor chip circuit also known as thin-film integrated circuits. There is another type of thick film integrated circuits are miniaturized circuits made of independent semiconductor devices and passive components, integrated into a substrate or circuit board.
Matter exists in a variety of forms, solid, liquid, gas, plasma and so on. Materials with poor electrical conductivity, such as coal, artificial crystals, amber, ceramics, etc., are usually referred to as insulators.
Integrated circuit technology includes chip manufacturing technology and design technology, mainly in the processing equipment, processing technology, packaging and testing, mass production and design innovation capabilities.
3, different functions
Chip transistor invention and mass production, various solid-state semiconductor components such as diodes, transistors, etc. are used in large quantities, replacing the vacuum tube in the circuit function and role.
Semiconductors are materials that conduct electricity between a conductor and an insulator at room temperature. Semiconductors are mainly used in radios, televisions and temperature measurement. A semiconductor is a material whose conductivity is controlled and ranges from insulator to conductor. From
Integrated circuits have the advantages of small size, light weight, fewer lead wires and solder joints, long life, high reliability and good performance, as well as low cost and easy mass production.
