Integrated circuit design‚ or IC design‚ is a subset of electrical engineering and computer engineering‚ encompassing the particular logic and circuit design techniques required to design integrated circuits‚ or ICs. ICs consist of miniaturized electronic components built into an electrical network on a monolithic semiconductor substrate by photolithography. IC design can be divided into the broad categories of digital and analog IC design. Digital IC design is to produce components such as microprocessors

amplifier with a differential input and‚ usually‚ a single-ended output.[1] An op-amp produces an output voltage that is typically hundreds of thousands of times larger than the voltage difference between its input terminals.[2] Operational amplifiers had their origins in analog computers where they were used to do mathematical operations in many linear‚ non-linear and frequencydependent circuits. Characteristics of a circuit using an op-amp are set by external components with little dependence on

Terminology[edit] An integrated circuit is defined as:[2] A circuit in which all or some of the circuit elements are inseparably associated and electrically interconnected so that it is considered to be indivisible for the purposes of construction and commerce. Circuits meeting this definition can be constructed using many different technologies – see for example thin-film transistor‚ thick film technology‚ or hybrid integrated circuit. However‚ in general usage integrated circuit has since come to

"The History of the Integrated Circuit" In today’s world integrated circuits are everywhere we turn. Many of them you will find in computers. For example the microprocessor is an integrated circuit that processes all information in the computer. It keeps track of what keys are pressed and if the mouse has been moved. It counts numbers and runs programs‚ games and the operating system. Chip production today is based on photolithography. In photolithography a high energy is shone through a mask

Unit 1 Research Assignment 1: Integrated Circuit Technology An integrated circuit is a tiny complex of electronic components and their connections that are produced in or on a small slice of material. A MOSFET‚ (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)‚ is the type of transistor used in modern computers. In the most basic form they are an amplifier. They typically have three pins - a source‚ a drain‚ and a gate. When there is voltage (not current) on the gate then the MOSFET
