The application of microchips, what are microchips used for?

Microelectronics make chips.

Microelectronics refers to the manufacturing and research field of microelectronic devices and chips, and can also refer to the related industries of microelectronic technology applications. The chip is one of the important products of microelectronics, it is the core part of an integrated circuit, which is composed of a large number of electronic components, transistors, resistors and capacitors, etc., which are used to store and process information.

The role of microelectronics:

1. Information storage and processing.

As the core part of integrated circuits, microelectronic chips can store and process large amounts of information. This makes it possible for modern computers, smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices to improve their performance and functionality.

2. Communication and wireless technology.

Microelectronics plays an important role in communication systems and radio technology. For example, microelectronic chips are used to manufacture mobile phones, satellite communication equipment, wireless local area networks, etc., to realize information transmission and wireless communication.

3. Control and automation.

Microelectronics is widely used in the field of control systems and automation. Microcontroller chips can control and manage various equipment and systems, such as elevators, industrial machinery, automotive electronic systems, etc., to improve production efficiency and safety.

Classification of microelectronics:

1. Classification of application fields.

2. Process manufacturing classification.

Thick Film Electronic Process: Manufactured using thicker film technology. Thin-film electronic processes: Fabrication using thin-film technology. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) process: Combining microelectronics and micromechanical manufacturing technologies.

3. Material classification.

Silicon-based microelectronics: microelectronic devices manufactured with silicon as the main material. III-V compound semiconductors: microelectronic devices manufactured using compound materials such as gallium nitride and gallium arsenide. Organic electronics: Microelectronic devices made from organic materials.

A microcomputer has a microprocessor chip that integrates combinators, controllers, and registers. The microprocessor can complete the operation of retrieving instructions, executing instructions, and exchanging information with external memory and logic components, etc., and is the part of the computing control system of the microcomputer, which can form a microcomputer with the memory and peripheral electric circuit chip.

The microprocessor executes a set of machine instructions that tell the processor what to do. The microprocessor does three basic things according to the instructions:

1. By using ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), a microprocessor can perform mathematical calculations such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Modern microprocessors contain a full floating-point processor, which can perform very complex floating-point operations on very large floating-point numbers.

2. A microprocessor can move data from one memory location to another.

3. The microprocessor can make decisions and jump to a new set of instructions based on those decisions.

The microprocessor chip of the microcomputing machine integrates a controller and combinator.

1. The controller, the controller in the microprocessor is the core of the core, and the microcomputer can work automatically in an orderly manner, relying on the unified command of the controller. The controller can also be subdivided into program counters, timing generators, instruction decoders, and various registers. Usually the controller takes the instruction according to the program counter, and then decodes it, which is to translate the instruction for what it is for, and then drive the combinator to work.

2. Combinators, combinators in microprocessors, can complete segment arithmetic logic operations, such as common bit operations, moving to the left, moving to the right, and operations, or operations, non-operations, etc.; There are also addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. Combinators can also be subdivided, internally consisting of data buffers, arithmetic logic units, general-purpose registers, and status registers.

Microchips are integrated circuit chips made using microelectronics technology, which has developed into the gigabit (chip GSI) era. The density of devices on the microchip has reached the level of neuronal density in the human brain. Such a level of microchips will promote the upgrading of the computer and communication industry, and greatly change the appearance of people's production and life.

Scientists are already discussing the possibility of implanting microchip memory circuits into the human brain to develop Alzheimer's disease, or increase a person's memory capacity. Portable supercomputers, electronic notebooks, miniature translators, and portables** made of microchips have emerged one after another.

Jack Kilby Zheng Yu.

Jack Kilby, November 8, 1923 June 20, 2005) If there is one invention in our world that has changed not a certain field, but the whole world and revolutionized the entire industrial system, it is Jack's invention of the microchip of integrated circuits.

September 12, 1958, was the beginning of a great moment for Texas Instruments.

Engineer' Jack. Kilby.

Invented the world's first integrated circuit IC microchip. This installation unveiled the prelude to the electronic revolution of mankind in the twentieth century and heralded the advent of the digital age.

In 2000 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This is a Nobel Prize in physics that is forty-two years overdue. This honor, because the longer the time between awards, the more his achievements are highlighted. To date, human computers, mobile phones.

Internet. TV. Camera.

and all the core components in electronic products [integrated circuits], all originated from his inventions.

In 1947, it happened to be Bell Labs.

The year after the invention of the transistor was announced, the electronic devices assembled from the transistor were still too bulky. Obviously, at this time, personal ownership of a computer was still an unattainable dream. Technology is always driven by dreams.

In 1952, G.W.A. Dahmer of the British Radar Research Institute first proposed the idea of integrated circuits: crystal transistors, crystal diodes and other components required for electronic circuits were all made on a semiconductor wafer. Although we don't know from Jack Kilby's account whether this idea influenced him, we can also feel that the concept of microelectronics is about to burst out of the minds of engineers.

Kilby, who was focusing on circuit miniaturization at Texas Instruments at the time, took advantage of the two weeks when most of his colleagues were on vacation and undisturbed to think about difficult problems. Just one month after Bell Labs celebrated the invention of the transistor, Kirby had a flash of inspiration and wrote five pages of crucial experiment journals in his office. Kilby's new concept of cluster hunger is to use a single piece of silicon to make a complete circuit, so that the circuit can be reduced to a very small size.

At the time, the industry was skeptical that this idea was feasible, and I entertained a number of technical forums, as Kilby describes in his article The Birth of Integrated Circuit ICs. 1958 year. The world's first integrated circuit IC microchip was born thanks to his efforts.
