PCB is a chip or a semiconductor

2024-03-01

A PCB(Printed Circuit Board) is a printed circuit board, which itself is not a semiconductor or integrated circuit. A PCB is a basic component used to support and connect electronic components, providing electrical connections and mechanical support so that electronic components can communicate and work together. Various types of electronic components may be mounted on the PCB, including semiconductor devices (e. g., transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, etc.) and other passive components (e. g., resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc.). Therefore, the PCB is closely related to semiconductors and integrated circuits, but it is itself a circuit board manufactured by printing technology to support and connect various electronic components.
Chip is a general term for semiconductor components, also known as microcircuits, microchips or integrated circuits. Its essence is semiconductor plus integrated circuits, usually manufactured on a semiconductor wafer. The chip contains millions of tiny electronic components that can perform a variety of complex computing and storage tasks.
A semiconductor is a substance that has electrical conductivity between a conductor and an insulator. Common semiconductor materials include silicon (Silicon) and germanium (Germanium). Semiconductor materials are commonly used to fabricate devices such as diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc. The integrated circuit is a technology that integrates multiple electronic components into a single chip and is the core of modern electronic technology.
