Difference between Monolithic ICs and Hybrid ICs (integrated circuits)

MEMS BASICS.

Monolithic ICS	Hybrid ICS
Monolithic integrated circuits which are fabricated entirely on a  single chip.	Hybrid integrated circuits are fabricated by interconnecting several individual chips.
A monolithic integrated circuit has the full circuit constructed on a single piece of silicon or other semiconductors, then enclosed in a package with connecting leads.	A Hybrid circuit often ceramic substrate carrying one or more silicon chips.  A hybrid can also use mixed technology, such as  GaAs chips along with silicon chips.
Small in size as compared to hybrid ICS	Large in size as compared to monolithic ICS
In this case, all the component are formed together by a various method which includes diffusion or ion implantation.	In this case of hybrid integrated circuits, interconnection usually established by TEM mode transmission lines.
Monolithic ICs are expensive.	Hybrid ICs are less expensive.
Speed is high as compared to hybrid ICs.	Speed is low as compared to monolithic ICs.
Monolithic ICs provide smaller flexibility in circuit design.	Hybrid ICs provide greater flexibility in circuit design.
