Microchip (or simply chip) is used rather loosely in electronics. While it can refer to the actual semiconductor die before packaging, usually the term is applied to the entire packaged integrated circuit, see Die (integrated circuit). An advanced IC known as a microprocessor is also called a microchip.
A die is a tool used in the manufacturing industry to create a wide variety of products and components. ...

A die in the context of integrated circuits is a small piece of semiconducting material on which a given circuit is fabricated. ... A microprocessor (sometimes abbreviated µP) is a programmable digital electronic component that incorporates the functions of a central processing unit (CPU) on a single semiconducting integrated circuit (IC). ...

Obviously, the use of a microchip implant would serve the purpose of a tamper-resistant[50] identification card, but it would also be connected to a computer-based registry to access desired information about an individual.
The implantable microchip could be monitored from the police station, a car or perhaps even a helicopter, in contrast to the current tethering device, which only works if the tagged individual remains close to the monitoring unit in his home.
The use of microchip implants in humans is such an instance, wherein the application of novel legal theories is required, because of the novelty and the direness of the implications for humans.
A microchip (sometimes just called a "chip") is a unit of packaged computer circuitry (usually called an integrated circuit) that is manufactured from a material such as silicon at a very small scale.
Microchips are made for program logic (logic or microprocessor chips) and for computer memory (memory or RAM chips).
Microchips are also made that include both logic and memory and for special purposes such as analog-to-digital conversion, bit slicing, and gateways.
