Chip, English is Chip; The Chipset is Chipset. The chip generally refers to the carrier of the integrated circuit, which is also the result of the design, manufacturing, packaging and testing of the integrated circuit, and is usually an independent whole that can be used immediately.
The two words \"chip\" and \"integrated circuit\" are often mixed, for example, in our usual discussion topics, integrated circuit design and chip design say the same meaning, and the chip industry, integrated circuit industry, and IC industry are often the same meaning.
In fact, these two words are related, but also different. Integrated circuit entities often exist in the form of chips, because the narrow sense of integrated circuit is to emphasize the circuit itself, such as simple enough to only five components connected together to form a phase-shift oscillator, when it is still presented on the drawing, we can also call it an integrated circuit.
When we want to take this small integrated circuit to apply, it must be an independent piece of material, or embedded in a larger integrated circuit, relying on the chip to play its role; Integrated circuits pay more attention to circuit design and layout, and chips pay more attention to circuit integration, production and packaging. The generalized integrated circuit, when it comes to the industry (different from other industries), can also contain various meanings related to the chip.
Science popularization: The key technology of 5G is the chip, and the key material of the chip is gallium nitride, which is imported.
