We don't generally "etch" integrated circuits, but, rather, we "grow" them layer by layer on a silicon substrate.

What is the function of an integrated circuit?
They are very small, yet they contain hundreds of millions of solid-state components. (Novanet)The function of an IC (integrated circuit) chip is to replace many separate electronic components which could possibly have been used to build a particular electronic circuit. Most of those separate components are replaced by just one tiny IC chip that has been manufactured ("fabricated" is the correct technical word) to include extremely miniature circuits which imitate the behavior of all those separate components.There are many reasons why ICs are being used more and more. Here are just a few of them:costs of manufacture: using an IC saves the labor of soldering together all the separate components to make the equivalent circuitspace: using an IC saves the huge amount of space that the circuit would take up if it were built using separate componentsenergy: using an IC saves a lot of electrical energy compared to the same circuit built using separate componentsspeed: using an IC makes the circuit work much faster than it could ever do if it were built using separate components.An IC chip can include tens, hundreds, thousands or many millions of components. ICs are commonly used nowadays to build computers and many other types of electronic devices.
What do the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 and 42 mean in Lost?
The numbers corresponded to the final candidates Jacob considered to replace him on the island. Locke was No. 4, Hurley was 8, Sawyer was 15, Sayid was 16, Jack was 23 and either Jin or Sun was 42. But the numbers popped up in various combinations during the entire run of the television series "Lost." For instance, the airplane that crashed on the island in the pilot episode was Oceanic 815. The numbers also were etched on the hatch of the Swan Station, the lab where the Dharma Initiative studied electromagnetism. Before the plane crash Hurley had used the numbers to win millions in a lottery.
What can printed circuit boards be used for?
PCB or printed circuit board are copper clad that are chemically etched to establish connections with parts installed on it making it a working circuit Today, just about every electronic appliance in your home contains a printed circuit board of some type: computers, printers, televisions, stereos, musical instrument amplifiers and synthesizers, digital clocks, microwave ovens, telephone answering machines and even cell phones. The "motherboard" in a computer is the main printed circuit board that is the heart of a computer. Other circuit boards inside a computer performs functions such as RAM (random access memory), power supplies, modems and video "cards."
Small piece of semiconducting material on which integrated circuits are etched?

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 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 are microchips and how are they related to integrated circuits?
Basically they can be considered the same thing. Micro chip may refer to the fact that it contains a micro processor. A microprocessor is an integrated circuit that is designed to handle instructions from a software program and form the core of a computer system. Integrated circuits are any type of device, that has many components etched onto a single piece of silicon and embedded in a plastic package with conducting legs. They include microprocessors, but could be amplifiers, logic gates, memory storage, complete radios, or other dedicated circuits that do one job very well.
What are many complicated circuits etched onto a small piece of silicon?
The circuits are simply called microchips,because these circuits are too small to be seen clearly with a naked eye.
Do you say etched in or onto our memories?
According to a Google search "etched into our memories" has 539,000 hits."Etched in our memories" has 458,000 hits."Etched onto our memories" has only 3,070 hits.Accordingly I recommend "Etched into" or "Etched in"Dictionary.com also includes the sample sentence: "Adeep canyon was etched intothe land by the river'srushing waters."
What is a sentence for etched?
The fancy mansion's windows were even fancier with a picture of a crown etched in them.
Why was the invention of the integrated circuit an important milestone?
Integrated circuits are etched onto a silicon chip. All the elements of a complete circuit can be included on a small slice of silicon, including transistors, resistors, capacitors and diodes. It takes several stages of a photographic and chemical process, to build up the design in a clean room to create a chip. After the initial design, they can be mass produced at minimum material cost. The chip is encapsulated in a small plastic box and legs sticking out, enabling it to be soldered onto a board with other chips and discrete components. They are important to computers, as the miniturisation and complexity allows computers to be buit into a small enclosure at a reasonable price.
When was Etched in Blue created?
Etched in Blue was created in 1987-05.
What part of speech is etched?
The word etched is a verb. It is the past tense of etch.
How are many complicated circuits etched on a piece of silicon?
By using multiple micro-photoetching techniques, doping, thermal diffusion, vacuum deposition, ion bombardment, etc. steps until the desired circuitry has been constructed.
