I am assuming you are referring to an IC in the electronics sense (Integrated circuit). If so, an IC works by utilizing a large array of resistors printed onto many layers of silicon. By using these resistors an IC can perform many functions that would normally require a large amount of components. A simple IC may have only 2 or 3 resistors on it, whereas a complex one can contain up to 10,000 (and yes more are possible)
