- Company Profile:
National Semiconductor Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and sub-systems.
Electrical test of semiconductor devices at the wafer level, so named because a metal probe is used to make electrical contact with each of the device's bonding pads.
Industry:Semiconductors
The government agency or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that is responsible for placement and tracking of a given order for materials.
Industry:Semiconductors
A memory device whose stored data content is established on an individual device basis through a programming process (usually involving the blowing of fuse links on the surface of the die). Unlike EPROMs and EEPROMs, PROMs cannot be erased and reprogrammed.
Industry:Semiconductors
A circuit element fabricated on a semiconductor device (usually adjacent to the device input) for the purpose of protecting portions of the device circuitry from transient overstress. A good example of a protective device would be an input diode on a CMOS device, which absorbs electrostatic discharge to prevent that discharge from rupturing the gate oxide.
Industry:Semiconductors
Semiconductor material in which the majority carriers are holes and are therefore positive.
Industry:Semiconductors
An unintended high current flow between two adjacent diffused areas created when sufficient voltage is applied to totally deplete both areas of majority carriers.
Industry:Semiconductors
Testing performed one time only on a sample basis to determine the suitability of a product or product family for usage against certain specifications or for certain programs.
Industry:Semiconductors
The government agency or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) responsible for determining vendor qualification status with respect to a given specification or series of specifications. In many cases the qualifying activity will be different from the procuring activity.
