Hybrid integrated circuitA hybrid integrated circuit (HIC), hybrid microcircuit, hybrid circuit or simply hybrid is a miniaturized electronic circuit constructed of individual devices, such as semiconductor devices (e.g. transistors, diodes or monolithic ICs) and passive components (e.g. resistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors), bonded to a substrate or printed circuit board (PCB). A PCB having components on a Printed Wiring Board (PWB) is not considered a true hybrid circuit according to the definition of MIL-PRF-38534.
Linear integrated circuitA linear integrated circuit or analog chip is a set of miniature electronic analog circuits formed on a single piece of semiconductor material. The voltage and current at specified points in the circuits of analog chips vary continuously over time. In contrast, digital chips only assign meaning to voltages or currents at discrete levels. In addition to transistors, analog chips often include a larger number of passive elements (capacitors, resistors, and inductors) than digital chips.
Ion Sensitive Field Effect TransistorL’ISFET, ou Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor, est un type de transistor à effet de champ dont la broche gate est sensible aux variations de concentration en ions. Sa principale utilisation est la mesure du pH. La broche gate est réalisée dans un matériau sensible à la concentration en ion hydrogène, ce qui fait varier la tension de seuil en conséquence. En pratique il s'agit de nitrure de silicium (SiN) ou d'oxyde d'aluminium (AlO) ou de tantale (TaO).
