Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Organic Pin Grid Array (OPGA) is a type of connection for integrated circuits, and especially CPUs, where the silicon die is attached to a plate out of an organic plastic which is pierced by an array of pins which make the requisite connections to the socket. A popular type of CPU to employ the OPGA is the AMD Athlon XP. In electronics, an integrated circuit (also known as IC, chip, or microchip) is a miniaturized electronic circuit (consisting mainly of semiconductor devices, as well as passive components) that has been manufactured in the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material. Integrated circuits are used in almost all electronic equipment in use today and have revolutionized the world of electronics. Computers, cellular phones, and other digital appliances are now inextricable parts of the structure of modern societies, made possible by the low cost of production of integrated circuits.
