No not at all. Those little "IC's" are the same as the big ic's just way less of the black epoxy package on them. If you were to dissolve the cover, you would find the same guts as the big ic's less the package and pins. Actually a better example are the eproms. What you see under the glass is roughly the same as whats under those little epoxy covers.
Not sure if that made any sense or not.
