Detailed Solution

The Correct answer is an Integrated circuit.

Key Points

• A chip is manufactured from a silicon wafer, which is first cut to size and then etched with circuits and electronic devices.
• The electronic devices use complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology.
• The current stage of micro-integration is known as Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI).
• A chip is also sometimes called an IC or Integrated circuit.
• An IC can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, counter, computer memory, or microprocessor.

• An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip or microchip, is a semiconductor wafer on which a thousand or millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are fabricated.

Additional Information

• Transistors:
  • It is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.
  • It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit.
  • Transistors are one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics.
• Resistor :
  • A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
  • In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.
• Semiconductor :
  • A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic copper, and an insulator, such as glass.
    • Its resistivity falls as its temperature rises metals behave in the opposite way.
