semiconductor chip
Integrated circuit wafer
A semiconductor chip is a small piece of semiconductor material, typically silicon, containing integrated electronic circuits.
These chips form the foundation of modern electronics—processors, memory, and sensors in computers, phones, and countless devices.
The term is often shortened to chip: a chip manufacturer, the global chip shortage.
