A chip is a way of miniaturizing circuits (mainly including semiconductor devices, as well as passive components, etc.). It uses a certain medium to comprehensively cover the center of a computer, such as the CPU, with the interface that displays this information, thus forming a small, miniature machine that integrates semiconductors on a substrate. Each … Read more
Chips are one of the greatest inventions of our time. Without the advent of chips, it is hard to imagine what today’s electronic era would look like.Everyone operates a “computer” the size of a house, carrying a huge “phone” while talking to distant friends, albeit with poor sound quality.It is precisely because of the invention … Read more
