WHAT IS Tiny piece of silicon with electronic circuits?

The tiny piece of silicon onto which electronic circuits are embedded is called a die.


Millions of electronic components can be placed on a tiny piece of silicon is?

A microchip is millions of electronic components placed on a tiny piece of silicon.


What is small piece of semiconducting material on which integrated circuits are etched?

We don't generally "etch" integrated circuits, but, rather, we "grow" them layer by layer on a silicon substrate.


What material is made of the integrated circuits?

Integrated circuits are not really a material, so nothing is made out of them. If you are wondering what THEY are made out of, then nobody will really be able to tell you, as there is more than one way to do it. (Silicon and Zinc oxide to name a couple)


Why is the reverse saturation current of germanium diode more than silicon?

Germanium has four number of shells while Silicon has three number of shell. therefore for germanium less energy is required to move the electron from valence band to conduction band if compared to silicon. So at room temperature for germanium their are more number of electrons present in conduction bond hence more number of holes present in the valence energy band. Due to movement of holes reverse saturation current is produced. Their is more number of hole movement in germanium comparatively therefore reverse saturation current is more than silicon for germanium.

What did Jack S. Kilby invented?

The integrated circuit ,a slice of silicon containing many electronic components reduced in size by photo lithography and encapsulated in a plastic or ceramic package. Integrated circuits started off with a few components integrated on to a pure substrate of silicon in the 1960's. The latest microprocessor chips contain many millions of active components and are at the heart of all modern electronic devices .
