Semiconductor quality
microcrack
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A very small crack within the metal or other material of a semiconductor device, typically not detectable using optical magnification. In the metallization area, microcracks most typically occur at ...
micron(µ)
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A unit of length. 106µ= 1 m (meter). [Note: µ as a symbol of length should not be confused with µ used as a prefix to indicate microunits, such as µA (microamps) or µV microvolts). A micron is one ...
migration
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
The relocation or movement of physical materials into or across other adjacent materials. (See electromigration.)
minority carrier
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
The nonpredominant mobile charge carrier in a semiconductor (such as electrons in a P-region, where the majority carrier would be holes).
moisture resistance
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
Subjection of sample devices to a cycle of high humidity and temperature stresses to determine the ability of these devices to survive under severe environmental conditions. This is normally ...
molded device
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A device which is completely encapsulated in epoxy or an alternate molding compound, that is, with no internal cavity.
monolithic device
Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality
A device whose circuitry is completed contained on a single die or chip.
