What does your textbook say about 14.11 INTEGRATED CIRCUITS?
The conventional method of making circuits is to choose components like diodes, transistor, R, L, C etc., and connect them by soldering wires in the desired manner. Inspite of the miniaturisation introduced by the discovery of transistors, such circuits were still bulky. Apart from this, such circuits were less reliable and less shock proof. The concept of fabricating an entire circuit (consisting of many passive components like R and C and active devices like diode and transistor) on a small single block (or chip) of a semiconductor has revolutionised the electronics technology. Such a circuit is known as Integrated Circuit (IC).
