Question

An integrated Circuit(IC) is?

• A. A complicated circuit
• B. Fabricated on a tiny silicon chip
• C. Much costlier than a single transistor
• D. An integrating device
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

An integrated Circuit(IC) is Fabricated on a tiny silicon chip.

An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip or microchip, is a semiconductor wafer on which thousands or millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are fabricated. An IC can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, counter, computer memory, or microprocessor.

An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, normally silicon.
