Integrated Circuits
What are integrated circuits? Integrated circuits (ICs) are scaled-down, interconnected microchips made of semiconductor devices. Otherwise called an IC or a chip, integrated circuits are the structural blocks of most present-day electronics. They are responsible for performing different electronic activities and capabilities inside electronic devices, including PCs and cells. Integrated circuit technology is the basis for scaling down electronic parts to increase their efficiency, decrease costs, and make them easier to use. IC design includes the design of the whole integrated circuit, from the position of semiconductors and other electrical parts to the layout of pins and bundles. IC fabrication refers to the most common way of making an integrated circuit on a semiconductor wafer. Integrated circuits come in different structures, including digital, analog, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Digital ICs are the most widely recognized IC type and are designed to process electronic...
