Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
That portion of the package lead which is inside the package cavity and to which the bonding wire will be connected to make electrical contact with the die.
latchup
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A condition where the output of a circuit has become fixed near one of the two voltage extremes and will no longer react to changes in the input signal. Latchup may be radiation ...
