How were microchips built to go into the machines that now build microchips?
The first integrated circuit masks were hand made, then optically reduced. The wafers were then processed much as they are today using these reduced masks. Hand made masks were used well into the 1970s. All the early microprocessors were done with hand made masks. You can even download from Intel's website now masks and schematics, all hand drawn, for their original 4004.
What allowed computer technology to develop?
THE SILICON CHIP -The term silicon is important in the computer industry. Microchips that let computers work are made from silicon. Scientists developed the first trial silicon chip in 1958. Before that time computers were made of transistors. In 1958 scientists thought that silicon microchips were impressive because each chip could hold more than 30 transistors. Today's silicon chips often have more than a million transistors. Silicon microchips have helped make modern computer technology possible.
Moore's law states that the?
D. Processing power of microchips doubles every 18 months.
Do all Circuit boards contain microchips?
Yes they all do.AnswerNo, they don't. There are many p.c.bs which use only discrete components.
What is a circuit board that holds microchips or integrated circuits and the circuitry that connects these chips?
A: two types on a experimental type is called breadboard on a functional circuit is called mother board
What made it possible to develop personal computers?
microchips
Why are microchips made of sand?
Most sand is composed of quartz - silicon dioxide. The element silicon is used to make microchips.
Where are Wiis made from?
Circuit cords, wires, microchips, and electronica things
Metals used to make microchips?
They are made from silicon
What two technologies are used to manufacturer microchips?
Microchips are generally manufactured using photo-lithography to control the placement of semiconductors. The semiconductors are made by doping the metal to alter its electrical properties
Would you say eight percent of the microchips is defective or eight percent of the microchips are defective?
You would say the latter. eigh percent of microchips ARE defective
