A microchip is an electronic device built as a single unit from many miniature components mainly transistors.Microchips are made by building up electronic circuits in a tiny wafer or pure silicon in a complicated layer-by-layer process.
Silicon mostly
THE SILICON CHIP -The term silicon is important in the computer industry. Microchips that let computers work are made from silicon. Scientists developed the first trial silicon chip in 1958. Before that time computers were made of transistors. In 1958 scientists thought that silicon microchips were impressive because each chip could hold more than 30 transistors. Today's silicon chips often have more than a million transistors. Silicon microchips have helped make modern computer technology possible.
D. Processing power of microchips doubles every 18 months.
Yes they all do.AnswerNo, they don't. There are many p.c.bs which use only discrete components.
The first integrated circuit masks were hand made, then optically reduced. The wafers were then processed much as they are today using these reduced masks. Hand made masks were used well into the 1970s. All the early microprocessors were done with hand made masks. You can even download from Intel's website now masks and schematics, all hand drawn, for their original 4004.
To make microchips
Most sand is composed of quartz - silicon dioxide. The element silicon is used to make microchips.
CMOS Tecnology
They are made from silicon
Silicon the element is used in electronicsto make microchips. Si is a semiconductor.
You would say the latter. eigh percent of microchips ARE defective
Silicon is the non-metal used to make micro-chips for computers/electronics.
NO !
no they are not
Microchips are used today as implants in living bodies to aid in tracking and identification.

Yes, modern passports often have microchips embedded in them for added security and to store biometric information.
