Thin slice of silicon at the heart of an integrated circuit (5)

I believe the answer is:

wafer

(Other definitions for wafer that I've seen before include "Very thin slice" , "Light thin biscuit" , "Disc of bread" , "Communion bread" , "Ice cream biscuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
