What is the major advantage of an Integrated Circuit (IC)? What is a disadvantage in manufacturing them?

What will be an ideal response?


ICs have revolutionized the electronics and computer industries because they require less space than discrete devices. An IC can contain any combination of diodes, resistors, capacitors, transistors , digital logic gates, etc.
Keep in mind, however, that manufacturers don’t just lump together a bunch of different devices into one housing: the manufacturing process is quite complicated and involved.
If one internal device burns out, you have to replace the entire IC.
