It is a circuit with specific functions that integrates a certain number of commonly used electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc., and the connections between these components, through semiconductor processes. It is a new type of semiconductor device developed between the late 1950s and 1960s. It is a semiconductor manufacturing process such as oxidation, photolithography, diffusion, epitaxy, aluminum evaporation, etc., which integrates semiconductors, resistors, capacitors and other components needed to form a circuit with certain functions, and the connecting wires between them on a small piece of silicon on the chip, and then solder the electronic components packed into a package. Its packaging has various shapes such as round, flat or double in-line type. Integrated circuit technology includes chip manufacturing technology and design technology, which is mainly reflected in the capabilities of processing equipment, processing technology, packaging and testing, mass production and design innovation.

Integrated circuit features of 74hc08 datasheet:

Integrated circuits have the advantages of small size, light weight, less lead wires and solder points, long service life, high reliability, good performance, etc., and at the same time low cost and convenient for mass production. It is not only widely used in industrial and civil electronic equipment such as radio recorders, televisions, computers, etc., but also in military affairs, communications, remote control, etc. The use of integrated circuits to assemble electronic equipment can increase the assembly density by tens to thousands of times compared to transistors, and the stable working time of equipment can also be greatly improved.
