Engineering Characterization definition

Engineering Characterization means testing various functions or portions of an individual device (such as an IC or SOC, whether in chip, wafer or packaged form, or an SIP) or of a selected group of devices in order to predict device performance. For example, individual ICs may be selected from various lots of a high-volume manufacturing process and subjected to Engineering Characterization testing, and statistical analysis, to determine if process or design changes should be made to achieve a desired acceptance yield over expected process variations. Engineering Characterization may include other testing such as failure analysis and lifespan testing and device modeling based on test results.

  • Treatability study means a study in which a hazardous waste is subjected to a treatment process to determine: (1) Whether the waste is amenable to the treatment process, (2) what pretreatment (if any) is required, (3) the optimal process conditions needed to achieve the desired treatment, (4) the efficiency of a treatment process for a specific waste or wastes, or (5) the characteristics and volumes of residuals from a particular treatment process. Also included in this definition for the purpose of the § 261.4 (e) and (f) exemptions are liner compatibility, corrosion, and other material compatibility studies and toxicological and health effects studies. A “treatability study” is not a means to commercially treat or dispose of hazardous waste.
