WHAT IS IC?
• It is a semiconductor wafer on
which thousands or millions of
resistor, capacitor and
transistor fabricated.
• The silicon cylinder called ingot
• This can be sliced into hundred of
small circular pieces called
wafers.
• Each wafer yields hundreds or This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA

Advantages of ic’s:
>low cost
>higher switching speed
>low power consumption.
>small size
>easy replacement
>high component density
Disadvantages of ic’s:
>cannot handle large amount of
current.
>only four types of component are
handled: 1.diodes
2.transistors
3.resistor
4.capacitor
Applications of ic’s:
➢ Communication
➢ Control
➢ Instrumentation
➢ Computer
➢ electronics
CONCLUSION
The integration of lively and
passive additives on a single
silicon substrate has
precipitated smaller, more
reliable, high-performing
digital gadgets, the use of
technological improvements
and improvents in present
day-day interconnected
worldwide.
