Semiconductor quality

PNP transistor

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A junction transistor constructed by placing an N-type base between a P-type emitter and a P-type collector. The emitter is normally positive with respect to the base and the collector is normally ...

PPM (parts-per-million)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A measurement scale for defect rates in components or impurity levels in materials.

precap

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

See internal visual.

probe

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Electrical test of semiconductor devices at the wafer level, so named because a metal probe is used to make electrical contact with each of the device's bonding pads.

procuring activity

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The government agency or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that is responsible for placement and tracking of a given order for materials.

programmable read-only memory (PROM)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A memory device whose stored data content is established on an individual device basis through a programming process (usually involving the blowing of fuse links on the surface of the die). Unlike ...

protective device

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A circuit element fabricated on a semiconductor device (usually adjacent to the device input) for the purpose of protecting portions of the device circuitry from transient overstress. A good example ...
