We thought that it would be nice to have a gateway to provide more information to our non technical visitors on some of the science and technology behind our products. We would welcome your input to enlarge and to enrich this database.
Microchips are generally the basic components of modern miniaturized electronics. The chip is a series of electrical circuits built into a tiny wafer of silicon or another semiconductor. These circuits may be made by exposing the chip to a high temperature vapor of controlled composition. The vapor deposits a thin layer on the silicon to produce complex layers of materials such as those found in transistors.
