Chip is a way of miniaturization in electronics, and it is usually made on the surface of semiconductor wafer.
Semiconductors are materials whose conductivity is between conductor and insulator at room temperature. Semiconductors are widely used in consumer electronics, communication systems, medical instruments and other fields.
An integrated circuit is a micro electronic device or component. Using a certain process, the transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components needed in a circuit are connected with each other.
2. Different characteristics
Integrated circuits that make circuits on the surface of semiconductor chips are also called thin film integrated circuits. Another kind of thick film integrated circuit is a miniaturized circuit composed of independent semiconductor devices and passive components integrated into a substrate or circuit board.
Matter exists in various forms, such as solid, liquid, gas, plasma, etc. Materials with poor conductivity, such as coal, artificial crystal, amber, ceramics, etc., are usually called insulators.
Integrated circuit technology includes chip manufacturing technology and design technology, which is mainly reflected in the ability of processing equipment, processing technology, packaging testing, mass production and design innovation.
3. Different functions
After the invention and mass production of chip transistors, various solid-state semiconductor components such as diodes and transistors have been widely used, replacing the functions and functions of vacuum tubes in circuits.
Semiconductors are materials whose conductivity is between conductor and insulator at room temperature. Semiconductors are mainly used in radios, televisions and temperature measurement. Semiconductors refer to materials with controllable conductivity, ranging from insulators to conductors. from
Integrated circuits have the advantages of small volume, light weight, less lead-out wires and solder joints, long service life, high reliability, good performance, and low cost, which is convenient for mass production.
