Integrated Circuit Design refers to the process of creating electronic circuits by combining various components, such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors, onto a single semiconductor chip. This design allows for miniaturization and improved performance of electronic devices, making them smaller, faster, and more efficient. The design process involves several steps, including circuit design, layout design, and verification. Engineers use specialized software tools to simulate and test the circuit's functionality before manufacturing. Integrated circuits are essential in a wide range of applications, from computers to smartphones and automobiles.
