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.
