A microchip is a set of electronic circuits on one small plate
(chip) of semiconductor material, normally silicon. Microchips are used in
virtually all electronic equipment today and have revolutionized the world of
electronics. The forerunner to the microchip was invented back in 1959, but it
didn't really start to take off until the 1980s. Since then, incredible
advances in microchips have made it possible for them to be cheaply and
efficiently used for calculators, personal computers, pet identification,
automatic teller machines, satellites, pacemakers, cell phones, and microwave
ovens among many other products.
