Chip photography site zeptobars.com has some photographs of modern transistors, and while some have interesting geometry, I didn't see anything that I'd consider an integrated circuit, i.e. something that would be drawn as more than a single transistor symbol on a schematic.

There are some "discrete" transistors with built-in ESD protection, e.g. NCV8440A, but those are unusual, and under normal operating conditions they work just like a normal transistor so I'd still count them as discrete components.
