Hybrid integrated circuit

<p>A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC), hybrid microcircuit, hybrid circuit or simply hybrid is a miniaturized <a href="/facts/Electronic_circuit/IRfQ6Cc2">electronic circuit</a> constructed of individual devices, such as <a href="/facts/Semiconductor/zFf3mGTE">semiconductor</a> devices (e.g. <a href="/facts/Transistor/Bmr8zwL0">transistors</a>, <a href="/facts/Diode/JyaoyGnk">diodes</a> or <a href="/facts/Integrated_circuits/fjn6vg7C">monolithic ICs</a>) and passive components (e.g. <a href="/facts/Resistor/JrsGReM6">resistors</a>, <a href="/facts/Inductor/YnfAXB3x">inductors</a>, <a href="/facts/Transformer/EYYfXWrF">transformers</a>, and <a href="/facts/Capacitor/hyowqv7n">capacitors</a>), bonded to a substrate or <a href="/facts/Printed_circuit_board/muSR2p43">printed circuit board</a> (PCB). A PCB having components on a <a href="/facts/Printed_wiring_board/muSR2p43">Printed wiring board</a> (PWB) is not considered a true hybrid circuit according to the definition of <a href="/facts/MIL-PRF-38534/TA4RXLea">MIL-PRF-38534</a>.
