What is a Memory Chip?

A semiconductor memory chip is an electronic device for data storage which is implemented on a semiconductor integrated circuit. Data is accessed by the semiconductor chip through a binary memory address. If the address of the memory consists of M number of bits, then the address area consists of 2^M addresses per chip. Semiconductor memory chips are designed with a certain word length (which is the number of 1-bit cells that share the same memory address). The amount of data which can be stored in a memory chip defines the number of bits. Through the combination of several integrated circuits, memory may be arranged for a larger word length and/or a larger address space than what is initially offered by the chip.
