Semiconductor quality

CSIC (customer specific integrated circuit)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

An integrated circuit designed for one specific application for one customer. With the growth of semi-custom devices, such as gate arrays, this term has been discarded in favor of ASIC.

current carrying edge

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

That portion of metal over a contact window that is closest to the point at which the metallization stripe enters the contact window.

The amount of current flow per unit of cross-sectional area within device metallization. For example, a 1 mA current flowing through a metallization stripe that is 3 wide and 1 thick would result in ...

data check

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Analysis and review of data after devices have been read-and-recorded to ensure that all readings have been properly performed and all rejects have been removed from the lot.

data log

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Same as Read-and-record.

data pack

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The operation during which all of the various data generated during the process of screening a lot is verified and organized for shipment to the customer.

data upset

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The loss of stored data in a memory device as a result of burst radiation. The radiation either causes the activation of a parasitic circuit or the reversal of the stored data state.
