Why integrated circuits are rectangular and the silicon chips are round
A eight pin digital logic chip inside the actual integrated circuit area is actually very small, may be smaller than the grain, but in order to facilitate the use of packaging into so large chips.
Chip makers use a number of processes to integrate the integrated circuit on the circle. And an integrated circuit with more than a dozen or even hundreds of chips. After the completion of the results according to India to cut it, cut into small pieces of a small square. Then the small silicon chip is packaged with other materials and pins into an integrated circuit chip.
The disk that you see is a wafer. This disk is not only the production of a chip, but N multiple chips are produced in this disk.
