`metal gate—Refers to the use of aluminum as the
`gate conductor instead of silicon or refractory metals.
`metal. halide lamp—A discharge lamp in which
`the light 15 produced by the radiation from a mixture of
`metallic vapor (for example, mercury) and the products
`of the disassociation of halides (for example, halides of
`thallium, indium, or sodium).

`_ metallic circuit—A circuit in which the earth itself

`metallic insulator—A shorted quarter-wave section
`of transmission line, which acts as an electrical insulator
`at the transmitted frequency.
`metallic noise—Weighted noise current in a metal-
`lic circuit at a given point when the circuit is terminated
`at that point in the nominal characteristic impedance of
`the circuit.
`
`metallic rectifier—A rectifier in which the asym-
`metrical junction between dissimilar solid conductors
`presents a high resistance to current flow in one direction
`and a low resistance in the opposite direction.
`metallic rectifier cell—An elementary rectifying
`device having only one positive electrode, negative elec-
`trode, and rectifying junction.
`metallic-rectifier stack—A single structure made
`up of one or more metallic rectifier cells.
`metallization— 1. The deposition of a thin~fi1m pat-
`tern of conductive material onto a substrate to provide
`interconnection of electronic components or to provide
`conductive contacts (pads)
`for
`interconnections. 2. A
`film pattern (single or multilayer) of conductive material
`deposited on a substrate to interconnect electronic compo-
`nents, or the metal film on the bonding area of a substrate
`that becomes a part of the bond and performs both electri-
`cal and mechanical functions. 3. The selective deposition
`of metal film on a substrate to form conductive intercon-
`nection between IC elements and points for connections
`with the outside world.
`metallized capacitor—A capacitor that is made
`with dielectric film that has had metal vacuum-deposited
`on it. This thin metallization restricts the maxrmum
`
`current capacity, but at the same time provides a very
`high volumetric efficiency and a unique self-healing
`property. Any internal arcover (whlch could be triggered
`by a transient voltage spike) Will usually clear itself by
`vaporizing the deposited metal film in the immed1ate area,
`thus extending the arc path beyond the sustaimng gap
`length limit. Foil capacitors cannot clear in this manner
`and may therefore sustain the arcovers and short out.
`metallized resistor—A fixed resistor in which the
`resistance element is a thin film of metal deposited on the
`surface of a glass or ceramic substrate.
`.
`metallizing—Applying a thin coating of metal to
`a nonmetallic surface. This may be done by chemical
