What is the difference between chips, integrated circuits(ICs) and semiconductor?


We hear a lot of chips, ICs and semiconductor in the electronic industry. But what is the relationship between these three and what is the difference between them?


Chips is a silicon wafer that involves integrated circuits. It’s usually very small and is a part of the computer and other electronic devices. Integrated circuits is a micro electronic devices or unit  that fulfill the need of the circuit function. Semiconductor is a material between conductor and insulator. It is broadly used on various electronic devices.

The ICs above is from Blueschip company. Blueschip is specializing of different electronic components. In each component you will find there are many choices. The variation of the component can help you to figure out what you need. Plus Blueschip have component that is affordable and high quality. Some components that are difficult to find are appeared on the product list of Blueschip.

Chips is easy to recognize, it is a square shape component. On the other hand, ICs is much complicated. ICs have different types of forming method, it is hard to recognize. Chip is the carrier of ICs and the joint name of semiconductor component. Semiconductor also have semiconductor chips and semiconductor ICs. Semiconductor also have different types. Integrated semiconductor and discrete semiconductor. Discrete semiconductor is basically crystal diode or audion.
