The difference:Integrated circuit, or microcircuit, microchip, chip (in electronics is a way to miniaturize a circuit (mainly including semiconductor devices, but also including passive components, etc.), and is usually manufactured on the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The aforementioned integrated circuits that manufacture circuits on the surface of semiconductor chips are also known as thin film integrated circuits. Another type of thick film hybrid integrated circuit is a miniaturized circuit composed of independent semiconductor devices and passive components integrated into a substrate or circuit board.Chip is one of the most important raw materials of LED, is the LED light component, the most core part of LED, chip quality will directly determine the performance of LED. The wafer is composed of group Ⅲ and Group Ⅴ composite semiconductor materials. In the LED package, the chip incoming material is neatly arranged on the chip film.Wafer generally refers to a thin slice cut from monocrystalline silicon, with a diameter of 6 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches and other specifications, mainly used to produce integrated circuits. The chip is just the raw material, the chip is the finished product.The chip is composed of transistors, resistors, capacitors through the wire, engraved on the wafer, and finally packaged.
LED chips and integrated circuit chips are two different chip types.
1. Different functions: LED chips are mainly used to control and drive light-emitting diodes (leds), which generate light through current excitation LED. The integrated circuit chip is a chip that integrates a variety of functional circuits, which can realize complex electronic calculation, logic and control functions. 2. Different structure: The LED chip is usually composed of a number of LED light-emitting elements, packages and pins, etc. Its main structure is to package the LED components and the drive circuit together. The integrated circuit chip is the integration of electronic components (such as transistors, capacitors, etc.) on a single semiconductor chip through a microelectronic process. 3. Different applications: LED chips are mainly used in lighting, display, indication and other fields, such as LED lights, LED screens and so on. Integrated circuit chips are widely used in electronic equipment and systems, such as computers, communication equipment, televisions, mobile phones, automobiles and so on. In general, the LED chip is used to control the LED light, and the integrated circuit chip implements more complex electronic functions.
