Abstract:An accurate temperature estimation is a substantial necessity to evaluate the outcome of a power cycling test. For devices with a forward biased pn-junction in the main current path, there is a well-known and understood method using its forward voltage drop at a small sensing current. Since metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) do not provide a pn-junction in forward mode, this method cannot be applied directly. A similar method to estimate the junction temperature of a MOSFET is the V S… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
