integrated circuit

Produced in millions within integrated circuit chips made of semiconducting silicon, transistors control the digital technology that defines our world.

A deficit in parts like integrated circuits for power management and radio frequency has hurt smartphone production worldwide.

This allowed them to create 18,000 logic gates, roughly 12 times as many as any previous flexible integrated circuit.

That started to change thanks to the growing maturity of photonic integrated circuits.

The capabilities of the integrated circuit (IC), and in particular the microprocessor, continue to increase unabated.
