- Company Profile:
National Semiconductor Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and sub-systems.
An integrated circuit designed for one specific application for one customer. With the growth of semi-custom devices, such as gate arrays, this term has been discarded in favor of ASIC.
Industry:Semiconductors
That portion of metal over a contact window that is closest to the point at which the metallization stripe enters the contact window.
Industry:Semiconductors
The amount of current flow per unit of cross-sectional area within device metallization. For example, a 1 mA current flowing through a metallization stripe that is 3 wide and 1 thick would result in a current density of 0.33 x 105 A/cm2.
Industry:Semiconductors
Analysis and review of data after devices have been read-and-recorded to ensure that all readings have been properly performed and all rejects have been removed from the lot.
Industry:Semiconductors
The operation during which all of the various data generated during the process of screening a lot is verified and organized for shipment to the customer.
Industry:Semiconductors
The loss of stored data in a memory device as a result of burst radiation. The radiation either causes the activation of a parasitic circuit or the reversal of the stored data state.
Industry:Semiconductors
A three- or four-digit number identifying the inspection lot from which material was selected. The first two digits (or first digit for a three-digit code) identify the year, the last two the week. Normally, the date code is based upon week of seal for the first sublot of the inspection lot.
Industry:Semiconductors
A limit applied to the amount of parametric drift that a unit may display across a screen or series of screens (usually applied to burn-in).
Industry:Semiconductors
The region in a semiconductor where essentially all charge carriers have been swept out by the electrical field which exists there.
