Morphology
microelectronic = electronic (transparent) = micro + electron + ic
The word is transparently formed by adding micro- to electronic, and the meaning 'very small electronic' follows standard English morphology.
Etymology
Microelectronic combines micro- meaning 'small', as in microchip and microphone, and electronic meaning 'using electricity', like electric devices. So microelectronic means very small electronic parts and circuits used in tiny devices.
