Are very small pieces of silicon or other semiconducting material onto which integrated circuits are embedded?
A: An IC it maybe 2" long but the silicon chip can be as small as a 3mm The rest of the real estate packaging in plastic ceramics whatever is there to provide support for the external connection pins and the wires welded inside of the silicon chip
What else can I help you with?
Difference between thick and thin film integrated circuits?
they have differe.nt method of deposition of film of conducting material. Hence, the difference between two is their fabrication process.
What circuit is a super thin slice of semiconducting material packed with circuit elements such as wires transistors capacitors logic gates and resistors?
A super thin slice of semiconducting material packed with circuit elements such as wires, transistors, capacitors, logic gates, and resistors is known as an integrated circuit (IC). These components work together to perform various functions in electronic devices, allowing for compact and efficient design. ICs are fundamental to modern electronics, enabling everything from simple devices to complex computing systems.
What are integrated circuits are and why are they used?
A long time ago, after ways to make semiconductors were discovered - around 1955 - circuits were made by using a separate transistor to perform each function. That took a lot of real estate on a circuit board and meant severely decreased functionality when handling high frequencies. Nowadays all of those transistors and their associated circuit components can be laid out and etched into an area that is less than the size of the point of a pin, which is why they are called INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. The material that is used is a wafer of specially-prepared semiconductor material that has been doped differently in various nano-layers to allow the various circuit elements to be formed by selective etching.
What is etching in very large scale integration?
Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistor-based circuits into a single chip. Etching is used to create ultra-fine circuit pathways in silicon wafers. While early techniques used a "wet" fluid to dissolve the unwanted material, newer techniques use "dry" plasma etching to remove wafer material.
Why germanium not used in VLSI design?
Germanium cannot be used in any integrated circuit as its oxide is crumbly and water soluble (unlike silicon's oxide which is hard and stable). The only germanium integrated circuits ever made were very low density and the interconnects between components on the chip had to be done by hand under a microscope. There has been work done on integrated circuits using a silicon germanium alloy wafer, but this has not produced any production chips yet that I am aware of. If this can be made to work, I see no reason why this material could not be used in VLSI designs and even higher density designs.
Small piece of semiconducting material on which integrated circuits are etched?
chip
Are very small pieces of semiconducting material that contain integrated circuits?
computer chips
What is a small piece of semiconducting material on which integrated circuits are etched?
A printed circuit board. abbrev- PCB. A PCB is thin copper attached to a non-conductive material. No, a printed circuit board is not a semiconducting material. Integrated circuits are created on a substrate, usually silicon or sapphire.
What are very small pieces of semiconducting material that contain integrated circuits.?
they are commonly called "chips".
What is small piece of semiconducting material on which integrated circuits are etched?
We don't generally "etch" integrated circuits, but, rather, we "grow" them layer by layer on a silicon substrate.
What is super-thin slice of semiconducting material packed with microscopic circuit elements such as wires transistors capacitors logic gates and resistors?
integrated circuit
What material is made of the integrated circuits?
Integrated circuits are not really a material, so nothing is made out of them. If you are wondering what THEY are made out of, then nobody will really be able to tell you, as there is more than one way to do it. (Silicon and Zinc oxide to name a couple)
What is chip or die?
A "chip" or "die" refers to a small piece of semiconducting material, typically silicon, that contains integrated circuits. It is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices, enabling functions such as processing, memory storage, and signal amplification. The term "die" specifically denotes the individual piece cut from a larger silicon wafer during manufacturing. Chips are used in everything from smartphones and computers to appliances and vehicles.

What is p type conductivity?
A semiconducting material that has been doped so that the charge carriers are 'holes'.
What is the micro-chip?
The micro chip is an amazing invention used to track dogs. These lost dogs can be scanned and returned to their owners.
