chip
chip
this has two meanings. First, an IC manufacturer produces hundreds of circuits on a large wafer of semiconductor material. Then the water is cut into individual chips, each containing one monolithic circuit. In this case, no leads have been connected to the chip. The chip is still an isolated piece of semiconductor material. Second, after the chip has been put inside a package and external leads have been connected to it, you have a finished IC. This finished IC is also referred to as a chip. For instance, we can call a 741C a chip.
