Thermal characterization plays a vital role in electronic package reliability testing, design, and verification of manufacturing processes. The reliability of electronic packages is controlled, in part, by ensuring the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded during operation. Systems such as […]

Introduction  In recent years, integrated circuit chips have enabled increasingly powerful computing capabilities as advanced process nodes have moved from DUV (deep ultra-violet) to EUV (extreme ultra-violet) lithography, allowing for higher fabrication resolution and transistor density. Additionally, advanced multi-die packaging […]
