Integrated circuit refers to a semiconductor integrated circuit, that is, a semiconductor material as a substrate, at least one of the active components of two or more components and part or all of the interconnect lines integrated in the substrate or on the substrate, in order to perform a certain electronic function of the intermediate product or final product.
Integrated circuit layout design refers to the three-dimensional configuration of two or more components and part or all of the interconnecting circuits in which at least one of the integrated circuits is an active component, or such three-dimensional configuration prepared for the manufacture of integrated circuits.
