With all theese IC and that whats the point of havign a PCB?

[RobeZZZ]

@happygamestvfun1 I think that IC and PCB are actually two very different but equally useful things.

An IC is sort of structure built in a silicon bulk and this technology is used mainly to create transistors and resistor and other circuit elements.

The PCB instead is a technology most used to link various elements together to create the circuit but it is not actually used to create e.g. a transistor as far as I know.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong

The main advantage of IC's is that they can contain millions and even billions of transistors each. For example, a simple 4GB USB flash drive contain an IC containing over 32 000 000 000 transistors. Mounting those transistors individually on a PCB become an impossible task. The PCB is an insulating fiberglass card having conductive copper traces etched on it. These traces link together different components including IC's.

to bad it aint HD, but veryinteresting

Very enjoyable thank you

brilliant video

i enjoyed this vid

@happygamestvfun1 Ones integrated, meaning built into. Other is Printed, meaning applied

This video is very informative. I didn't thought that making Integrated Chips would so difficult. Microscopic layers are being created and mass production of these things are done. The technology used is really sophisticated.

Very interesting

@chopin999

not only one people did invent it. That all is invented by a huge community of high qualifed physicans and technicans about many many yaers and accidents.

such high difficult and comlpex procecces but nvidia issn't able to handle the flexing problem with simple solderballs
