Microelectronics Practice Sheet
Introduction
Microelectronics is the study of electrical components and circuits on a microscopic scale. Microelectronics is a major field of Electrical Engineering and is used in many applications such as computers, phones, and other electronics.
This practice sheet will help you understand the basics of Microelectronics and how they are used in everyday life.
What is a Microelectronic Component?
A microelectronic component is a tiny electronic device that is used to control electric current. Examples of microelectronic components include transistors, diodes, and capacitors. These components are used to control electric current in circuits, allowing them to perform complex tasks.
What is a Circuit?
A circuit is a closed path of conductors through which electric current can flow. Circuits can be used to control electric current, allowing them to perform tasks such as powering a light or a computer.
What is an Integrated Circuit?
An integrated circuit, or IC, is a collection of interconnected components, such as transistors, diodes, and capacitors, that are used to control electric current. Integrated circuits are used in many everyday devices, such as phones, computers, and other electronics.
