Computer Chip | MCQs

Explanation

Silicon is the primary material used in making computer chips.

Due to its excellent semiconductor properties.

They are essential for controlling electrical currents.

Explanation

An integrated circuit  is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece  of semiconductor material, usually silicon.

Large numbers of tiny MOSFETs  integrate into a small chip.

First generation  (1940 - 1956) vacuum tubes as a major piece of technology.

The  ENIAC  is an example of 1st generation computer.

Second generation (1956 - 1963) use of transistors .

Third generation (1964 - 1971) use of  Integrated circuits.

Explanation

The CPU chip used in a computer is partially made out of silicon.

Silicon is a semiconductor.

This means it can conduct electricity under certain conditions.
