EMI Electromagnetic interference.
Energy [J] Capacity for performing work or to cause heat flow. Like work itself, it is measured in Joules.
Enthalpy (H) A property of a system equal to E + PV, where E is the internal energy of the system, P is the pressure of the system, and V is the volume of the system. At constant pressure the change in enthalpy equals the energy flow as heat.
Enzyme A large molecule, usually a protein, that catalyzes biological reactions.
Enzyme immunoassay/EIA In an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), an enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen is used for the detection and quantification of the antigen-antibody reaction. In an electrochemical EIA, the enzyme-catalyzed reaction is monitored electrochemically (amperometric, potentiometric, voltametric or conductometric). In EIA, the antibody-antigen reaction furnishes the needed specificity. The enzyme label provides the sensitivity via chemical amplification.
Epitaxial or epi A single-crystal semiconductor layer grown upon a single-crystal substrate having the same crystallographic characteristics as the substrate material.
EPROM Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory --- nonvolatile memory device.
Extrinsic Characterizes doped, rather than pure, semiconductor.
Fab For "fabrication", a term referring to the making of semiconductor devices such as microprocessors.
Face-centered cubic A crystal structure found in common elemental metals also FCC. Within the cubic unit cell, atoms are located at all corner and face-centered positions.
