integrated circuit (IC)
A combination of electronic components built onto a single substrate of semiconductor material. Transistors, diodes, capacitors, and resistors are all built onto a tiny chip and mounted in a protective package that allows the circuit to connect with other components or devices.
Logic gates, rectifiers, amplifiers, microprocessors, and semiconductor memory circuits can all be built as integrated circuits. The development of integrated circuits has made miniature electronics possible.
