What is the name of a device that combines several semiconductors and other components into one package?

• A. Circuit board
• B. Integrated circuit
• C. Module
• D. Connector

Answer: (B)

The name of a device that combines several semiconductors and other components into one package is an integrated circuit. An integrated circuit (IC) is a miniature electronic circuit that contains a variety of components such as transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors all fabricated on a single piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon. This integration allows for a higher level of functionality in a compact form, leading to improvements in size, speed, power consumption, and overall performance compared to traditional circuits that use discrete components.

In contrast, a circuit board is a platform that houses various electronic components and integrated circuits but does not specifically refer to a single device that combines multiple components into one. A module typically refers to a self-contained unit that may include an integrated circuit but doesn't explicitly define the combination of semiconductors as an IC does. A connector is a component used to join electrical circuits together but does not have any specific function as a circuit or integrated electronic device.
