Introduction to Basic Knowledge of Integrated Circuits: From Atomic Structure to Transistors 1

Integrated circuit (IC) is a circuit that integrates multiple electronic devices onto the same semiconductor chip. To understand integrated circuits, one first needs to have a basic understanding of atomic structure, semiconductor materials, PN structure, and DS92LV1260TUJB transistors.

1. Atomic structure:

Atoms are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons carry negative charges, protons carry positive charges, and neutrons have no charges. The atomic nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, and electrons rotate around the nucleus. The atomic nucleus occupies a very small space, and most of the space is occupied by electron clouds.transistors

2. Semiconductor materials:

Semiconductors refer to materials between conductors and insulators, such as silicon and germanium. The conductivity of semiconductor materials is between that of conductors and insulators, and their conductivity can be changed by doping.transistors
