The term microchip is a general one, and a microchip (sometimes called an integrated circuit or IC) can perform one or more functions in an electric circuit. Whatever the function or functions, they are all performed in one device, or one microchip. As to what these devices do, we have a wide variety of choices when it comes to electronic circuits.
A microchip might perform all the functions to control a microwave oven, including timing and variation in the operation of the high voltage circuit to control magnetron output. It might perform all the tuning functions in a satellite receiver, or do the digital-to-analog conversion in a digital music player. A microchip may be composed of nothing but digital memory, and is at the heart of devices that use solid state memory to store data.
There integrated circuits that we know as microcontrollers or even microprocessors could be considered microchips as the components on the single substrate are extremely small and are densely packed.

integrated circuit
What things need a microchip to work?
Electronic chessboards need to have microchip that work. If the microchip isn't working then the player won't have a good user experience.
What is another name for a microchip made of semiconductors?
Intergrated Circuit

Do the integrated circuit and the microchip go together?
An integrated circuit can be either monolithic (all on one piece of semiconductor) or hybrid (several separate components attached to a tiny ceramic circuit board). A microchip is another name for a monolithic integrated circuit.
Who made the first circuit?
Jack Kilby invented the first integrated circuit - the microchip
