Die bonding is a critical process in semiconductor manufacturing and microelectronics assembly, where a semiconductor die or chip is attached and electrically connected to a substrate or a package....

digital camera

A digital camera is a device that captures and records still images or video in digital format. Unlike traditional film cameras, which use photographic film to capture and store images, digital...

digital delay generator

An instrument that can preselect intervals, often in increments of 1, 10 or 100 ns, for the generation of electronic pulses by means of front-panel switches. Also called a time-delay generator.

digital filter

A linear computation or algorithm performed on a selected series in the form of an input signal that produces a new series as output. The computational device may be a specifically designed...

digital photography

A form of photography in which an electronic camera converts an image to an electronic signal that is stored in digital format on magnetic media or film.

dimmer

An electric or electronic device that regulates the voltage going to a light source as a means of varying the intensity of the light emitted by the source.
