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 is the scientific name of printing?
The scientific name of printing is lithography. This name is derived from the roots "lithos", meaning stone, and "graphein", meaning "to write". Essentially, the earliest forms of printing were equivalent to etching pictograms, hieroglyphs, and other forms into stone. Then, inks and dyes were created. After that, wood blocks were used to print. Then, the printing press was created, which allowed for mass-production of printed works. Lithography is also used today to etch integrated circuits in microchips.
Microchips are most often manufactured using?
Photolithography and the planar process. However with today's very high circuit densities, x-rays or electron beams are typically used to make the photolithographic exposures instead of light.
What is paper used for today?
paper is used for writing on and can also be used for oragamy
When was science used or is being used to make decisions?
It's used when predicting the weather, learning about what happened on the earth before there were humans, its used in computers, its used to learn more about the human body. Science is used for A LOT!
Need used in sentence?
Who used up all the scotch tape? Will you buy a car that's new or used? She used a knife to slice the bread. He used to work at Mc Donalds, but he was fired. She's not used to driving such a big vehicle. He used that girl to make his wife jealous.
For what purposes are microchips used today?
Microchips are used today as implants in living bodies to aid in tracking and identification.

Why are microchips made of sand?
Most sand is composed of quartz - silicon dioxide. The element silicon is used to make microchips.
How can microchips be used to breach the confidentiality of medical records?
Microchips when handled without the greatest degree of security can breach the confidentiality of medical records and any other records. Microchips store so much information that interception of them can have devastating consequences.
What type of microchips are used in ROBOT?
The same ones you find in a computer.
What two technology is not often used to make microchips?
CMOS Tecnology
Metals used to make microchips?
They are made from silicon
What is very rare but is used a lot?
gold is a rare substance but is used in countless things like microchips
What two technologies are used to manufacturer microchips?
Microchips are generally manufactured using photo-lithography to control the placement of semiconductors. The semiconductors are made by doping the metal to alter its electrical properties
What are silicons uses?
Silicon the element is used in electronicsto make microchips. Si is a semiconductor.
Would you say eight percent of the microchips is defective or eight percent of the microchips are defective?
You would say the latter. eigh percent of microchips ARE defective
What non metal is used to make microchips?
Silicon is the non-metal used to make micro-chips for computers/electronics.
