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".
Integrated circuits, both hybrid and monolithic.
"In the 1960's, many school districts began to integrate public schools." "The city plans to integrate their bus lines and streetcars into a single system." "Printed circuits can integrate many electronic functions into a single board."
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.
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.
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.
I go to a monolithic church, the largest in the city.

True. Some of these computers used hybrid integrated circuits (e.g. IBM System/360) and some used monolithic integrated circuits (e.g. Apollo Guidance Computer, Minuteman II Guidance Computer)
The monolithic structure known as Stonehenge is thought to be a sun calendar.

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'.
Cro-Monolithic Remixes for an Iron Age was created in 2004.
