An integrated circuit (IC) is a miniature electronic device or component. A certain process is used to interconnect the transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components required in a circuit to form a small or a few small pieces of semiconductor wafer or dielectric substrate and then packaged in a tube. The inside of the shell becomes a micro structure having the desired circuit function; all of these elements have been structurally integrated, so that the entire circuit volume is greatly reduced, and the number of lead wires and soldering points is also greatly reduced, thereby enabling electronic components. A big step towards miniaturization, low power consumption and high reliability. It is represented in the circuit by the letter "IC" (also with the text symbol "N", etc.).
Integrated circuits have the advantages of small size, light weight, low lead-out and soldering points, long life, high reliability, good performance, low cost, and ease of mass production. It is not only widely used in industrial and commercial electronic equipment such as recorders, televisions, and computers, but also widely used in military, communications, and remote control. Assembling electronic devices with integrated circuits can increase the assembly density by several tens to several thousand times over that of transistors, and the stable operation time of the devices can also be greatly improved.
