Abstract:
In this paper, the effect of temperature nonlinearities of the packaging materials on the thermal resistance measurement was analyzed by FEM tools. Based on the simulation results, a novel thermal resistance testing method for power semiconductors was proposed to improve the accuracy compared to the published JESD51-14 standard. Experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
