The relationship between semiconductors and chips
Release time：

Semiconductor refers to a material whose conductivity at room temperature is between that of an insulator and a conductor. People usually refer to materials with poor conductivity, such as coal, artificial crystals, amber, ceramics, etc., as insulators. Metals with better conductivity, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, aluminum, etc., are called conductors. Compared with conductors and insulators, the discovery of semiconductor materials was late. It was not until the 1930s, when the purification technology of materials was improved, that semiconductors received the attention of the industry. Common semiconductor materials include silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, etc., and silicon is one of the most influential semiconductor materials in commercial applications.
chip
Chip (chip), also known as microchip (microchip), integrated circuit (integrated circuit, IC). It refers to a silicon chip containing integrated circuits, which is very small in size. Generally speaking, a chip (IC) generally refers to all semiconductor components, and is a circuit module that integrates various electronic components on a silicon board to achieve a specific function. It is an important part of electronic equipment and undertakes the functions of computing and storage. Widely used in almost all electronic equipment such as military industry and civilian use.
