substrate

hardware The body or base layer of an integrated circuit,

onto which other layers are deposited to form the circuit.

The substrate is usually Silicon, though Sapphire is used for

certain applications, particularly military, where radiation

resistance is important. The substrate is originally part of

the wafer from which the die is cut. It is used as the

electrical ground for the circuit.
