Memory types Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Semiconductor memory is an electronic data storage device , often used as computer memory , implemented on a semiconductor based integrated circuit . Examples of semiconductor memory include non volatile memory such as read only memory ROM , magnetoresistive random access memory MRAM , and flash memory . It also includes volatile memory such as static random access memory SRAM , which relies on several transistors forming a digital flip flop to store each bit , and dynamic random access memory DRAM , which uses one capacitor and one transistor to store each bit. Shift register s, processor register s, data buffer s and other small digital registers that have no address decoder memory address decoding mechanism are not considered as memory. Data is accessed by means of a binary memory address to the memory. If the memory address consists of M bits, the address area consists of 2 M addresses per chip. Semiconductor memory are manufactured with a certain word length number of 1 bit cells sharing the same memory address that power of two, typically M 1, 2, 4 or 8 bit per chip. Consequently, the amount of data stored in each chip is math MN 2 math bits. Possible figures are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 bit , kbit , Mbit , Gbit and Tbit , here defined by binary prefix es. By combining several integrated circuits, memory can be arranged for a larger word length and or address space than what is offered by each chip, often but not necessarily a power of two .

Reliability of semiconductor devices can be summarized as follows Semiconductor devices are very sensitive to impurities and particles. Therefore, to manufacture these devices it is necessary to manage many processes while accurately controlling the level of impurities and particles. The finished product quality depends upon the many layered relationship of each interacting substance in the semiconductor, including metallizing metallization , chip material list of semiconductor materials and package. The problems of micro processes, and thin films and must be fully understood as they apply to metallization and bonding wire bonding . It is also necessary to analyze surface phenomena from the aspect of thin films. Due to the rapid advances in technology, many new devices are developed using new materials and processes, and design calendar time is limited due to non recurring engineering constraints, plus time to market concerns. Consequently, it is not possible to base new designs on the reliability of existing devices. To achieve economy of scale , semiconductor products are manufactured in high volume. Furthermore repair of finished semiconductor products is impractical. Therefore incorporation of reliability at the design stage and reduction of variation in the production stage have become essential. Reliability of semiconductor devices may depend on assembly, use, and environmental ... factors affecting semiconductor reliability include voltage derating, Electric power power derating ... wafer prober tests the semiconductor die, prior to packaging, via micro probes connected to test equipment ... of electronic semiconductor devices fall in the following categories Material interaction induced ... properties and Failure mechanisms.
