| Term | Definition |
| Parametric test | A test that measures and compares an ASIC part\'s voltages, currents, and timing against specified values. |
| Parasitic transistor leakage | A transistor defect where inadvertent channel inversion causes leakage from drain to source. |
| Path delay | The time required for a signal to traverse through a wire between two circuit components. |
| Photo-mask | The photographic film (glass plate) which contains the masking pattern required for a particular wafer processing step (see Mask). |
| Photonics | The science and technology of generating, manipulating, transmitting, and detecting light. It is a field that encompasses optics, quantum optics, lasers, optoelectronics, imaging, optical information processing, materials science, and their applications. |
| PIC | Integrated circuits that include active and passive photonic devices on the same chip. |
| Plasma Vapor Deposition | A SEMICON process used to deposit material onto a wafer by ionizing a gas plasma (typically via microwave radiation). In PVD chemical reactions occur in the gas/plasma phase, as opposed to on the surface of the wafer in CVD. |
| pMOS | A p-channel metal-oxide semiconductor transistor is one in which p-type dopants are used in the gate region. A negative voltage on the gate turns the device on. |
| Printed Circuit Board | An layer of nonconducting material sandwiched between layers of copper interconnecting patterns onto which are soldered integrated circuit packages and other electronic components. |
| Process stability | The degree to which a process undergoes change to achieve acceptable yield. |
| Proof-of-design part | A fabricated ASIC used to verify ASIC functionality before fabricating engineering and flight parts. |
| Prototyping | The implementation of a microsystem, component, or system to verify functionality or show proof-of-concept. |
| PSK | Phase-shift keying is a modulation technique in which the phase of the carrier conveys the input signal\'s information. |
