Question

Determine the chip area for Large Scale Integration ICs.

(a) 1,00,000 mil^2

(b) 10,000 mil^2

(c) 1,60,000 mil^2

(d) 16,000 mil^2

The question was asked in an online interview.

This key question is from IC Chip Size and Circuit Complexity in division IC Fabrication of Linear Integrated Circuits

Answer 1

Right option is (c) 1,60,000 mil^2

Illuminate the topic with: The chip area for a Large Scale Integration IC is 1 cm^2.

=> Area of LSI = 10mm × 10mm = 1cm × 1 cm = 1cm^2.

=> 1,60,000mil^2 (1cm=400mil).
