INTRODUCTION TO IC
Definition of integrated circuit:
Integrated circuit
a complex set of tiny components and their
interconnections that are imprinted onto a tiny slice of
semiconductor material (e.g silicon). Integrated circuits are
usually called ICs or chips.
Functions of IC
Most electronic equipment today use integrated circuit, for
example:
Computer / Server / workstation
TV / Radio / Video
Cell Phones
Digital Clock
Robotic Systems
Telecommunication System
Automotive
Medical Equipment
Aerospace
Children's Toys
Military Field
Missile System
etc.

Monolithic IC
Monolithic IC
-Advantages of monolithic IC:
-- most popular because of low cost.
- high reliability.
Disadvantages of monolithic IC:
- isolation weakness
- limited range of passive components.
- circuit design is not flexible.
Film IC
Hybrid IC
Hybrids ICs are widely used for high power audio amplifier
applications from 5 W to more than 50 W.
Hybrid IC
Hybrid ICs usually have better performance
than monolithic ICs.
However, the process is too expensive for
mass production. Thus, multi-chip techniques
are quite economical for small quantity
production and are more often used as
prototypes for monolithic ICs.
