Semiconductor quality
neutron radiation
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
Exposure of a device to neutron radiation during fabrication in order to reduce minority carrier lifetime in the substrate. This minimizes the probability of circuit latchup during exposure to burst ...
non-destructive bond pull
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
Pull stressing of all wires on all devices or a sample of devices from a given lot to a pull force which is lower than the minimum pull force limit imposed for destructive bond pull.
non-standard part
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A device procured to a contractor prepared specification rather than to a government prepared specification.
npn transistor
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A junction transistor constructed by placing a P-type base between an N-type emitter and an N-type collector. The emitter is normally negative with respect to the base and the collector is normally ...
n-type
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
Semiconductor material in which the majority carriers are electrons and are therefore negative.
operating life
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
Burn-in (that is, exposure to high temperature with electrical bias applied) performed for extended duration (usually one thousand hours at 125°C). Normally a sample test.
