Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/積體電路 vs 集成电路
integrated circuit · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 电路 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 積體電路; on the Mainland it is 集成电路 - both point at “integrated circuit”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 積體電路、集成電路 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
