- Company Profile:
National Semiconductor Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and sub-systems.
In digital data systems, the utilization of a number of dedicated processors distributed throughout the system for the purpose of doing computation locally.
Industry:Semiconductors
Susceptibility to damage or degradation as the result of subjection to electrostatic discharge. Typically much higher for MOS devices than for bipolar.
Industry:Semiconductors
The discharge of accumulated static charge (typically of high voltage at low current) from one collector to another, usually by jumping the air gap between the two.
Industry:Semiconductors
A topographically distinguishable part of a microcircuit which contributes directly to its electrical characteristics.
Industry:Semiconductors
An alloy of two or more metals with the lowest melting point that is possible from any combination of those metals. The melting point of the eutectic will normally be lower than the melting point of either metal in its pure state.
Industry:Semiconductors
One of the final steps in processing a wafer during which conductive metal, usually aluminum, is deposited on the surface of the wafer in order to provide electrical interconnection of the various active elements on each die. Metallization may also be accomplished through sputtering.
Industry:Semiconductors
A post-mortem examination of failed devices for the purpose of verifying the reported failure and identifying the mode or mechanism of failure. Failure analysis techniques may range from simple electrical and/or visual examination to some of the more advanced techniques of physics, metallurgy, and chemistry.
Industry:Semiconductors
The calculated rate at which device failures will occur within a total device population (normally expressed in terms of percent per thousand hours or devices per 106 unit hours).
