| Term | Definition |
| Lab-on-CD | MEMS / Microfluidic technology applied to analytical instrumentation. The resulting instruments fits onto a standard CD-ROM. |
| Lab-on-chip | MEMS technology applied to analytical instrumentation. The instrument is reduced in size such that it fits onto one chip. |
| Latent defect | A microcircuit defect that is not likely to inhibit performance until well into the microcircuit\'s lifetime. |
| Layout | The physical implementation of the components and interconnections which make up an integrated circuit or microsystem chip. |
| Leakage current | All undesirable stray current in a microcircuit. |
| LFSR | A shift register in which some of its outputs are connected to the input through some logic gates. |
| Linear energy transfer (LET) | The amount of energy transfered to an IC\'s active area by a traversing charged particle. |
| LINT check | The LINT program can be used to detect certain language (can be any language like verilog, vhdl, systemC, C++, C. etc.) constructs that may cause portability problems. In case of HDL LINT check point out malicious codes which may create problem in the final implementation. This is very important especially when a code is handled by different tools. Those problems usually will not identified by simulators. Read this article about lint check |
| Logic gate | Physically, a logic gate is a transistor circuit which allows voltages to pass through based on simple logic rules applied to its inputs. |
