Scope
The measurement method described herein is equally applicable to both thermal test die and
active intemted circuit devices. Thermal test die, consisting of a heat source and temperature
sensor integrated into a semiconductor chip, are commonly used for package thermal
characterization efforts, especially when one package is being compared to another.
Integrated circuit devices, operating in an active mode that approximates intended
applications, are used when specific application-oriented specification information is required.
