Almost anything. Question is far too broad to answer...it like asking "What do people do?"

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.

What are microchips used for?
A microchip is a small semiconductor used to relay information through specific electrical characteristics. In some cases, the words microchip and integrated circuit can be interchangeable. The microchip is at the heart of many electronics known today, including computers, and even microwave ovens. If you are reading this right now, chances are very good that you have a microchip to thank for it.
What does a microchip do in an electronic circuit?
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.
What is another name commonly used for an integrated circuit?
A "chip", short for microchip. The abbreviation "IC" is also often used.
