  • Abstract
    An electrical technique to measure the thermal resistance of GaAs bulk resistors is presented. The thermal resistance of several resistors was determined. The difference in these results relative to a liquid crystal method is discussed. Then, the reliability impact on the resistors from self-heating is studied
