Amasekhethi kagesi enziwe aba yingxenye eyodwa ku-chip ye-semiconductor, ngokuvamile i-silicon: ama-transistor, ama-resistor nezintambo kwakhiwa ndawonye, bese i-chip ifakwa ephaketheni elinemilenze noma ama-pad. Ahluka ngalokho isekhethi ekwenzayo, njenge-timer, i-amplifier, amasango e-logic noma inkumbulo, nangephakethe namandla kagesi.
