Introduction to Microelectronics: General overview

This video introduces what is microelectronics and how is it different from electronics. Microelectronics is a subdivision within electronics. While in electronics we build circuits that in a normal scale, microelectronics integrates those circuits in chips or IC (Integrated Circuits). The advancement into the use of the ICs was very commonplace due to the promising uses of the technology for many functions in the industry. Personal computers, mobile phones, cameras, televisions, house appliance, etc. All those commodities that we have and use in daily basis, and we cannot imagine anymore a life without them are basically composes by many electronic components and microelectronic systems.
