ICs have been built with as few as two to as many as hundreds of billions of transistors. I believe the first germanium prototype IC built by Kilby may have had only one transistor (it was an integrated circuit not for having many transistors, but because it integrated both resistors and transistors into a single germanium crystal).

What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
What is the full form of ssic?
Small Scale Integrated Circuit - From 1 to ~40 transistors per chip.
Which integrated circuits were used in the third generation of computers?
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.
How did Jack Kilby help to progress of computers?
He invented a monolithic integrated circuit using germanium in 1958. While it proved the concept of the monolithic integrated circuit, unfortunately it was not practical for commercial production and sale as the electrical connections between the integrated components on the chip had to be done entirely by hand under a microscope. The first practical monolithic integrated circuit was invented by Robert Noyce in 1959 using silicon.
IC full form in computer history?
The answer to this would be Integrated Circuit.
What Integrated circuits that contain millions of transistors?
Almost every ICs contain millions of transistors it would make for a very long list!
Type of circuit may contain thousands of tiny transistors?
"Integrated circuit" (IC, or "chip")
What is super-thin slice of semiconducting material packed with microscopic circuit elements such as wires transistors capacitors logic gates and resistors?
integrated circuit
What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?

How can an integrated circuit signal info?
Items such as radios and transistors use integrated circuit signals. They send signals by opening and closing electrical circuits in sequence.
What is a complex circuit of many transistors diodes resistors capacitors and other electronic devices that are formed onto a tiny silicon chip?
monolithic integrated circuit
What is an darlington array?
An integrated circuit with several darlington transistors on it. Usually they are independent darlingtons.

Integrated circuit?
The image shows the first integrated circuit. It was handmade by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958 using a bar of germanium in which he formed transistors and resistors by diffusion then wired these components into a circuit by hand.

First integrated circuit?
The image shows the first integrated circuit. It was handmade by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958 using a bar of germanium in which he formed transistors and resistors by diffusion then wired these components into a circuit by hand.
What did Gordon Moore notice about transistors?
Gordon Moore observed in the early 1960s that the number of transistors that could be successfully integrated on a single integrated circuit chip was growing at an exponential rate over time. He then quantified this observation into an equation. This equation has come to be called "Moore's Law" and the growth in the number of transistors in a single integrated circuit chip has continued to follow that equation since then (even though many potential problems that could have stalled the growth have come and gone).
