An **integrated circuit** (**IC**) or a **microchip** is a set of electronic circuits (usually consisting of MOSFET transistors) on a small flat piece of semiconductor material (silicon). It is currently the dominant technological basis for computers.
-**[[Moore's law]]** has succesfully described the history of
-semiconductor integration for decades: in every two years, the
-number of transistors in an IC can be doubled. However, Moore's
-law has depended on increasing economic investments: **Moore's
-second law**, also known as **Rock's law**, states that the
-cost of a fabrication plant doubles every four years. The
-smaller the feature size, the more specialization and complexity
-is needed in equipment and processes. This has lead to extreme
-[[centralization]] of fabs.
