Semiconductor quality

microcrack

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A very small crack within the metal or other material of a semiconductor device, typically not detectable using optical magnification. In the metallization area, microcracks most typically occur at ...

micron(µ)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A unit of length. 106µ= 1 m (meter). [Note: µ as a symbol of length should not be confused with µ used as a prefix to indicate microunits, such as µA (microamps) or µV microvolts). A micron is one ...

migration

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The relocation or movement of physical materials into or across other adjacent materials. (See electromigration.)

minority carrier

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The nonpredominant mobile charge carrier in a semiconductor (such as electrons in a P-region, where the majority carrier would be holes).

moisture resistance

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Subjection of sample devices to a cycle of high humidity and temperature stresses to determine the ability of these devices to survive under severe environmental conditions. This is normally ...
