In the chip itself? No.
The packaging and interconnects often contain gold however.
- Bond wires are usually aluminum, but sometimes gold is used instead.
- Lead frames and pins are commonly gold plated to reduce corrosion.
- etc.
There is a type of discrete bipolar junction transistor that is doped with gold, but as far as I have been able to find this is not used in ICs.

How are IC chips programed?
integrated circuit
What is chip soldering?
when solder IC chips on printed circuit cards
What types of ic chips are there?
Thousands, if not millions. There are so many that it would be a major task to catalog them all. They could be categorized by technology used or by function.
What size oil fired boiler requires a pilot instead of an igniter?
Its not about size, its about controls. If the unit has a control board with IC chips, it uses a glow plug. If it uses mechanical switches, as most older units do, it will have a pilot.
When was IC Bus created?
IC Bus was created in 2002.

Does vlsi exist in nature?
Huh? Very Large Scale Integration is a packaging density of IC chips. IC chips are a manufactured product that people make on special assembly lines. Does that answer your question?

What is the importance of silica?
You make computer chips and most ic devices from this material.
Why subtractor IC is not available?
The operation of subtraction is just the inverse of addition, if you can do one you can do the other. BTW, are you thinking analog or digital IC? If digital there are ALU IC chips that do both, depending ..
What is LM in LM series IC's?
LM is a manufacturer's code--all LM chips were made by National Semiconductor. Similarly, SN chips were made by Texas Instruments.
What was the first computer to use computer chips ( made out of transistors?
All computer chips have been made out of transistors, you cannot make them out of vacuum tubes. The first monolithic IC chip (see image above) was made at Texas Instruments in 1958 on a bar of germanium (not silicon), it was a simple audio amplifier. The first digital logic monolithic IC chips were built around 1961 or 1962.
What elements do an integrated circuit contain?
The main elements present in typical IC chips are:siliconoxygenaluminumboronnitrogenphosphorusindiumarsenicThe main elements present in typical IC lead frames/pins etc. are: copperaluminumtingoldThe main elements present in typical IC plastic packages are: carbonhydrogenoxygenphosphorussulfur
What is the primary industry of gold?
Computer chips.

Why is gold used in sillicon chips?
Gold is the only conductor of electricity in which there is no voltage drop.
