Semiconductor quality

parasitic device or element

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

An interaction between diffused circuit elements. A good example of a parasitic would be the collector series resistance (RSAT) of a transistor and the associated capacitance of the ...

particle count

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A measurement scale for gas or liquid cleanliness, normally stated in parts per cubic foot. For example, a Class 10 working area would be one which contained no more than 10 particles greater than ...

passivation

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The surface coating of the die (usually thermally grown silicon dioxide, Si02) through which contact and diffusion windows are opened.

passive device

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Devices such as resistors or capacitors which have no amplification or control characteristics.

p-channel

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

An MOS process in which MOS transistors are formed by bridging two adjacent P-type diffusions (source and drain) with a dielectric (gate). When the source and the substrate are grounded and a ...

perfect defect allowable (PDA)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The maximum percentage of a lot which may fail a 100% screening step without rejecting the lot. The PDA is predicted on the possibility that a failure mechanism which appears in an abnormally high ...

pedestal

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The mounting portion of a hybrid substrate when it is smaller than the main portion of the substrate.
