An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed for one particular task, trading flexibility for speed and power efficiency.
A chiplet is a small silicon die designed to be combined with other dies in one package, so that a large processor is built from modular…
An FPGA is a semiconductor chip whose logic blocks and wiring are configured after manufacturing, so one device can implement many custom digital circuits.
A MOSFET is a field-effect transistor whose insulated gate voltage controls current through a channel, the switch behind digital logic and power converters.
Photolithography is the semiconductor manufacturing process that uses light and a photomask to print circuit patterns onto silicon wafers, layer by layer.
An SoC, or system on a chip, integrates CPU, GPU, memory controllers, I/O and accelerators on one semiconductor die or package to save power and space.
A transistor is a semiconductor device in which a small voltage or current controls a larger current, acting as the switch and amplifier of all electronics.
