what are the improtance of integrated circuits?

Answer 1

integrated circuits allow for micronization enabling engineers to place 10 or a 100 or even a1000 times as much circuitry in the same space. look at your cell phones or epods and all the other things you take for granted which are all possible as a result of integrated circuits. oh yeah there's your computer which would not be possible without micronization. otherwise your computer would be as big as a house.

Answer 2

Integrated Circuits (IC) are the microprocessors or "cores", which control everything from computers to cellular phones to digital microwave ovens. Digital memory chips and ASICs are examples of other families of integrated circuits that are important to the modern information society. While cost of designing and developing a complex integrated circuit is quite high, when spread across typically millions of production units the individual IC cost is minimized. The performance of ICs is high because the small size allows short traces which in turn allows low power logic to be used at fast switching speeds.

ICs have consistently migrated to smaller feature sizes over the years, allowing more circuitry to be packed on each chip. This increased capacity per unit area can be used to decrease cost and/or increase functionality — according to Moore’s law, which, in its modern interpretation, states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every two years. In general, as the feature size shrinks, almost everything improves—the cost per unit and the switching power consumption go down, and the speed goes up. However, ICs with nanometer-scale devices are not without their problems, principal among which is leakage current, although these problems are not insurmountable and will likely be solved or at least ameliorated by the introduction of high-k dielectrics. Since these speed and power consumption gains are apparent to the end user, there is fierce competition among the manufacturers to use finer geometries.

Answer 3

Reduction in physical size of finished product and lowered cost to produce and best of all reduction in power consumption. Without them your computer your working on would be as big as the school you go to..It would also cost a couple of hundred dollars in electricity per DAY to operate!!!! Good luck from the E.....

Answer 4

they work together
