Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000274

Describing a substance that ignites spontaneously upon exposure to air without an external ignition source. These materials are highly reactive and present a fire hazard in semiconductor processing environments. Examples include silane gas and finely divided metal powders, which require careful handling and storage under inert atmospheres.
