National Semiconductor Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and sub-systems.
A patterned screen of any of several materials used to expose selected areas of a semiconductor covered with a light-sensitive photoresist to polymerizing light during the fabrication process.
Industry:Semiconductors
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 micrometer.]
Industry:Semiconductors
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 performed on a sample basis with 10 cycles of 24-hour duration.
Industry:Semiconductors
A device whose circuitry is completed contained on a single die or chip.
Industry:Semiconductors
The instructions which program or sequence the functioning of the hardware of a device or system. These instructions may be contained internally (in ROM, for example) or externally (on tape, disc, or any other suitable memory medium).
Industry:Semiconductors
A device which, when subjected to a current or voltage, exhibits either gain (amplification) and/or control characteristics, or a device which converts input signal energy into output signal energy through interaction with the energy from an auxiliary source(s).
Industry:Semiconductors
Helium nuclei emitted as a result of the radioactive decay of trace amounts of naturally occurring uranium and thorium found in semiconductor packaging materials. Alpha particles, if not properly controlled, can cause soft errors in dynamic memories.
Industry:Semiconductors
A microcircuit in which the output is a mathematical function of the input.
Industry:Semiconductors
The functional design of a complex component, circuit or system, including both its hardware and its compatibility with external hardware and software.
