Detailed explanation-1: -An ‘integrated circuit’ is an electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, which performs the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components. It is also called a chip or microchip.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chip. A tiny, thin square or rectangle of semiconducting material, typically silicon, that contains one or many transistors to form an integrated circuit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Semiconductors, sometimes referred to as integrated circuits (ICs) or microchips, are made from pure elements, typically silicon or germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide.
Detailed explanation-4: -An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or “chip") of semiconductor material that is normally silicon.
