In the first part of paper a thermal transient measurement approach is presented that can be applied for generation multi-port compact dynamic models IC packages. Experimental results prove applicability ideas. second recent advances in development appropriate tools are described. Among others authors present new test chip, and T3ster, tester equipment, developed high precision one-port or measurements.

In this paper two possible ways are investigated to create accurate thermal models without having validated information on the properties of applied interface materials. One way is calibration a detailed numerical model based physical which can be derived from experimental structure functions. we show complete procedure using TO-220 package as an example. Another approach generation dynamic compact real measurements. order apply one has identify junction-to-case resistance tested JEDEC JESD...

In this paper a methodology is presented to correct the systematic error of structure function based thermal material parameter measuring methods. This stems from fact that it practically impossible avoid parallel heat-flow paths in case forced one-dimensional heat conduction. With method we show how subtract effect measured function. correction methods can be eliminated. Application examples demonstrate accuracy increase obtained with use method.

In this paper we review the history of static (continuous) and dynamic (pulsed) test methods described in JEDEC JESD51-1 [1]. Written 1995, there has not been, to date knowledge authors, any systematic these different approaches transient thermal testing packaged ICs LEDs. Commercially available in-house equipment perform either according one approach or other, but both.

The thermal characterization of power devices is an inevitable task in the industry. Thermal transient testing one major tools for this characterization, as it not only capable giving information about actual parameters but may also reveal root cause potential device failures. occur on single packages or modules a dedicated standard test bench, “in situ”, assembly. process itself very fast both cases, order seconds, measurement needs to be preceded by calibration step determine temperature...

Thermal transient testing of semiconductor devices needs a well-defined power level for heating and proper data acquisition recording the change thermally sensitive device parameter.
