Questions tagged [die]

A die is a small block of semiconducting material on which a given functional integrated circuit is fabricated. Typically, integrated circuits are produced in large batches on a single wafer of electronic-grade silicon (EGS) or other semiconductor (such as GaAs) through processes such as photolithography. The wafer is cut (“diced”) into many pieces, each containing one copy of the circuit. Each of these pieces is called a die.

Modelling ESR of a parallel plate capacitor

I am trying to model a parallel plate capacitor (on die capacitor generated using metal plates.) I know the capacitance per unit area, and metal sheet resistance. No knowledge of the dielectric. I ...

Is there a common ballpark estimate for the percentage of an IC package that is taken up by the die?

Not a very technical question but I'm interested in finding out the average size of a 3-axis accelerometer die. I’m finding that the smaller package sizes are around 2x2x1mm, is there a way of ...
