Question

Integrated circuit is defined as:

• A. a single electronic circuit on a small plate of semiconductor material.
• B. a set of electronic circuits on one small plate of semiconductor material.
• C. a circuit capable of generating dc currents.
• D. a plate of semiconductor material used to connect external multiple circuits

Answer 1

The correct option is B a set of electronic circuits on one small plate of semiconductor material.

An 'integrated circuit' is an electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, which performs the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components. It is also called a chip or microchip.
