A type of hybrid integrated circuit. Hybrid integrated circuits use individual components mounted on a ceramic circuit board. The circuit board traces can be placed on the ceramic in a variety of different ways. For film hybrid integrated circuits metal vapor deposition is used and either thin films or thick films of the metal can be deposited. The components can be connected to the traces using either surface mount or welded individual wires.

An integrated circuit can be either monolithic (all on one piece of semiconductor) or hybrid (several separate components attached to a tiny ceramic circuit board).

A microchip is another name for a monolithic integrated circuit.

Both hybrid integrated circuits and monolithic integrated circuits were used in third generation computers. These integrated circuits contained from 4 to 100 transistors per integrated circuit.

The image above shows hybrid integrated circuits of the type used in the IBM System 360 line of computers.

That will depend on the integrated circuit.
