Semiconductor quality

soft error

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

An error of a nonpermanent nature introduced into a cell or cells of a memory device as a result of either voltage or current transients or radiation exposures. Although soft errors may be corrected, ...

ASIC

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Application Specific Integrated Circuit. A custom or semi custom integrated circuit, such as a cell or gate array, created for a specific application. The complexity of ASICs typically requires ...

software

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The instructions which program or sequence the functioning of the hardware of a device or system. These instructions may be contained internally (in ROM, for example) or externally (on tape, disc, or ...

accept number

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The maximum number of devices which may fail a sample test without causing rejection of the lot.

solderability testing

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Immersion of the leads of sample devices in solder, followed by visual inspection to determine that the quality of the finish is such that it will accept an even coating of solder.

acceptor

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

An impurity that can make a semiconductor P-type by accepting valence electrons, thereby leaving "holes" in the valence band of the semiconductor device. The holes act like carriers of positive ...

solder dip

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Dipping of the leads of devices into molten solder in order to later facilitate soldering of the devices to circuit boards. Sometimes inaccurately referred to as "tin dip.,
