Semiconductors are mainly composed of four parts: integrated circuits, optoelectronic devices, discrete devices, and sensors. However, since integrated circuits account for 80% of them, laypeople generally consider integrated circuits as semiconductors. In integrated circuits, they are further divided into microprocessors, memory, logic devices, and analog devices. These small box like things are actually what we commonly refer to as chips.
A chip refers to a silicon chip containing integrated circuits, which is small in size and is a part of a mobile phone, computer, or other electronic device. If the most important organ of the human body is the brain, then chips are the "brain" of electronic devices.

If the most important organ of the human body is the brain, then chips are the "brain" of electronic devices. A chip is an integrated circuit, also known as a microelectronic chip, composed of many electronic devices, circuit components, organic matter, etc., packaged on a single silicon chip, and is one of the foundations of modern electronic technology. Because of its small size, low power consumption, high manufacturing difficulty, and high reliability
The main function of a chip is to complete calculations and processing tasks, and an integrated circuit is to package a circuit onto a small component.
According to functional classification, it can be divided into four types, mainly memory chips, microprocessors, standard chips, and complex systems on chip (SoCs). According to the types of integrated circuits, they can be divided into three categories: digital chips, analog chips, and hybrid chips.
Integrated circuits (ICs), also known as microchips or simply chips, are fundamental components of modern electronics.
