Semiconductor quality

medium scale integratio (MSI)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

MSI devices are generally accepted to be those that contain 12 or more gate equivalents, but less than 100. (See LSI.)

mean time between failure (MTBF)

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

The average number of operating hours after a device has failed that would pass before the next device failure would be expected to occur.

multichip device

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

A device containing two or more die, but no thin or thick film components on the substrate.

multilayer metallization

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Metallization formed through the deposition of several layers of different metals to form a single metallization stripe on the surface of the device.

multilevel metallization

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

Metallization formed through the deposition of several layers of metal with dielectric (such as Si02) separating the various levels except where interconnection of levels is required.

n-channel

Semiconductors; Semiconductor quality

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