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.

What is monolithic ic?
An IC or integrated circuit consists of a chip ("die") and plastic or ceramic packaging to protect the die from mechanical and (some) electrical damage. An IC with more than one die is usually called a "hybrid" IC. A "monolithic" IC is just a plain old one-die IC, but it implies that functions from a number of ICs have been incorporated into that one IC. One form of monolithic IC is where the functions of a powerful graphics processor is put on the same die as a CPU. An SOC ("System On a Chip") is another trend in monolithic ICs. "Monolithic" is something of a transitional term. Floating point, memory management, and processing units all used to to be on separate ICs. Now they are all on the same IC, but we don't call them "monolithic" any more.
Advantages of monolithic and hybrid IC?
low cost high reliability
How do monolithic ICs provide good thermal stability?
all the parts in the IC were made together so they have nearly identical characteristicsthe parts are close together in the IC so are probably at nearly the same temperature
What is the most used ic among ttl and cmos?
ic 8284
Fabrication of monolithic IC?
this process involves following major steps... 1. Wafer preparation 2. Epitaxial growth 3. Oxidisation 4. Photolithographic process 5. Isolation diffusion 6. Base and emitter diffusion 7. Pre-ohmic etch 8. Metallisation 9. circuit probing 10. Scribing and separating into chips 11. Mounting and packing 12. Encapsulation (NOTE;- These are the processes involved for monolithic ic's. Detailed information can be found on internet.)
Is IC741 a hybrid ic?
no, the 741 opamp is a monolithic IC.

What does lm stands for in lm741 ic?
linear monolithic
What does LM stands in LM386 IC?
LM stands for "Linear Monolithic"
Advantages of monolithic and hybrid IC?
low cost high reliability
What is the meaning of LM in LM 555 IC?
It's a prefix of the IC products of 'Linear Monolithic' category of National semiconductors.
What is LM in LM series IC?
The "LM" stands for Linear Monolithic" and is just part of the part-number that National decided to use for this famous timer IC. The LM prefix is still used for a lot of medium complexity analog chips, like regulators and op-amps.
What is a monolithic IC?
A monolithic IC is a type of "integrated circuit" electronic device (commonly referred to as a "chip") that contains active and passive devices (transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors) that are made in and on the surface of a single piece of a single crystal semiconductor, such as a Silicon (Si) wafer. A process called "planar technology" must be used in the single block (monolith), and be interconnected to the insulating layer over the same body of the semiconductor to produce a solid integral monolithic-IC. If the devices are interconnected by bonding wires dangling above the chip, is not a monolithic-IC; it is a hybrid-IC. In monolithic-ICs, the devices (transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors) are fabricated on the same single chip of a single Silicon crystal by PLANAR technology, and have ISOLATED p-n junctions, and have interconnections adherent to the insulator layers without shorting to the adjacent areas and each other.
What is lm in lm324?
LM stand for Liner Monolithic ic that is the National Instrunt perfix, I My right
What is lm 317?
Full form of LM in any IC like LM317 is linear monolithic
What are the differences between monolithic and hybrid ic?
MONOLITHIC IC It is that the components such as semiconductor materials,passive components(resistor,capacitor,inductor and transformer) etc ,which is used in ic is fabricated within the single semiconductor(say silicon) wafer and there is no such shortages between the components and this have separate pn junctions. All the functions of the components are within the small silicon wafer and the technology used here to manufacture this ic is PLANAR TECHNOLOGY HYBRID IC It is that the components are connected individualy through the wires and the surrounded by the special polymer called EPOXY ,this is the technology used while comparing with the monolithic ic it is big in size.it contain the components all such used in the monolithic type
What was the first computer to use computer chips ( made out of transistors?
All computer chips have been made out of transistors, you cannot make them out of vacuum tubes. The first monolithic IC chip (see image above) was made at Texas Instruments in 1958 on a bar of germanium (not silicon), it was a simple audio amplifier. The first digital logic monolithic IC chips were built around 1961 or 1962.
