Abstract
A description is given of the design and development of a relatively low-cost, high-current, transient-thermal-resistance tester. Using delta techniques, the tester was initially used to measure the die bond integrity of large power-handling rectifier assemblies, but because of its versatility it can thermally characterize most semiconductor junctions. Circuit design details and testing of several products are illustrated, including V/sub F/ (forward voltage) and Delta V/sub V/ measurements of power rectifiers and smart power ICs.<>
