A monolithic integrated circuit is a collection of interconnected electronic devices (transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors) all formed on the surface of a single pieceof a semiconductor crystal (usually silicon). "Monolith" means "one rock".

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.


Why p-substrate is used in monolithic IC not p-substrate?

entire circuit is built into a single piece of semiconductor (chip); physical properties of semiconductor to large degree determine performance of the circuit; the most common integrated circuits such as microprocessors, memories, etc., are all monolithic.


Which invention led to third generation of computer?

The Third Generation of Computers was known as Integrated Circuits. IC's was created by Mr. Jack S. Kilby. At this period of time, transistors where shrunk into smaller ones and where placed in a silicon chip. Also, a more efficient way of user input has been created. Keyboards and monitors have been used instead of punch cards and vacuum tubes.

What are the five types of neural circuits?

The five types of neural circuits are feedforward circuits, feedback circuits, reciprocal circuits, divergent circuits, and convergent circuits. Feedforward circuits allow signals to travel in one direction, while feedback circuits enable signals to loop back to earlier stages for modulation. Reciprocal circuits involve bidirectional communication between neurons, and divergent circuits spread signals to multiple targets, whereas convergent circuits integrate inputs from various sources into a single output. Each type plays a crucial role in processing and transmitting information within the nervous system.

What is a monolithic dome?

A monolithic dome is a curving, half-spherical structure supported indepedently of surrounding architecture. The former gives it a dome-like quality, and its free-standing nature designates it as 'monolithic'.
