What is an Electronic Chip?
An electronic chip is also known as an integrated circuit. It consists of components such as transistors, resistors and diodes which are all contained in one small plate. The plate will be made from a semiconductor material, most often silicone. It consists of many complex layers of semiconductor wafers, copper and any other required materials. Chips are very advanced and can sometimes contain billions of components in a tiny surface area. They have been around since the mid-20th century and…
