Abstract
This paper will act as a definitive guide on how the Junction to Case thermal resistance (RthJC) of an IGBT device is measured. This paper would provide an overview of the measurement circuit and the methods used in the measurement of an IGBT device housed in the T0247 package. We shall discuss the theory and formulas used to derive the thermal resistance of the device using the measured data. paper will also review the improvements of RthJC values in Package Development projects, new die bonding techniques and package conversion projects.
