Chip set
Soldering is the process of using a bubble of hot metal to bond two electronic components or circuits together.
Tiny piece of silicon with electronic circuits in the CPU is the one known as a the processor. This piece will contain all the components of an electric circuit.
A combinational circuit's output depends only on its current inputs. This means, it has a truth table. A sequential circuit's output depends on its previous inputs. This means, it's output will depend on which state it is.
The silicon is a semiconductor and can be doped to control its conductivity and create the junctions needed to make diodes and transistors. These diodes and transistors can act as switches and logic gates in properly designed circuits. Silicon can also be easily oxidized to become a robust waterproof insulator to passivate and protect the circuits and components beneath it. The aluminium and/or copper are just good conductors used to "wire" the silicon components together and provide pads that can be used to attach wires or metal beads so that the chip can be connected to external circuits.

"In the 1960's, many school districts began to integrate public schools." "The city plans to integrate their bus lines and streetcars into a single system." "Printed circuits can integrate many electronic functions into a single board."

Practically everything.
Solid State Media consists entirely of electronic components, such as integrated circuits.
To protect the components in the circuit from overcurrents.
Before circuit boards, we used point-to-point wiring between components that were usually mounted onto a metal chassis or plugged in to sockets. It's a low-tech method still used in prototyping, for very small production runs and by hobbyists. Individual transistors developed into integrated circuits (chips), but these were still mounted onto some kind of circuit board/chassis. The advance was to integrate *very many* transistors (millions-plus) into Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits, such as microprocessors and memory chips. So.... 1. A low-cost, short-run alternative is point-to-point wiring, 2. The high-technology alternative is to integrate many//most/all functions into a single ship.

It makes the current bigger
There are three basic types of integrated circuits currently produced by U.S. semiconductor manufacturers: memory components, logic devices, and components. This latter category includes microprocessors and micro controllers.
Taking an existing IC design and scaling the components smaller.
