An integrated circuit (IC), or silicon chip.

Miniaturized electronic circuit produced on a single crystal, or chip, of a semiconducting material - usually silicon. It may contain many millions of components and yet measure only 5 mm/0.2 in square and 1 mm/0.04 in thick. The IC is encapsulated within a plastic or ceramic case, and linked via gold wires to metal pins with which it is connected to a printed circuit board and the other components that make up such electronic devices as computers and calculators.
