Question

An integrated circuit is a _____.

a) glass tube with phosphors that glow when exposed to electrons

b) thin slice of silicon with many solid-state components

c) small tube of silicon that contains n-type semiconductors

Answer 1

An integrated circuit is a b) thin slice of silicon with many solid-state components

Answer 2

b) a thin slice of silicon with many solid state components.

Step-by-step explanation:

The study of integrated circuits is a part of Solid State electronics.

Silicon is a semiconductor element. Electronic devices use small chips

(also called micro chips ) of Silicon. On this chip numerous circuit components like resistors and capacitors are put together ( integrated).

Integrated circuits play a vital role in the working of the electronic and digital devices used in the day to day life like the computers, mobile phones etc.
