An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small plate (chip) of semiconductor material, normally silicon. This can be made much smaller than a discrete circuit made from independent electronic components.
IC may refer to any of the following: 1  1. Alternatively referred to as a bare chip, monolithic integrated circuit, or microchip, IC is short for Integrated Circuit or Integrated Chip. The IC is a package containing many circuits, pathways, transistors, and other electronic components all working together to perform a particular function or a series of functions. Integrated circuits are the building blocks of computer hardware. The picture is an example of what an Integrated Circuit may look like on a circuit board today.
