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.
