Thermal Impedance Measurements for Quality Assessment of ...

Electrical power in diodes is released at the P-N junction and dissipates by heat
flow through the silicon die, die-to-slug interface, slug, sealing glass and lead. ....
cases, the heating pulse width of 10 ms, which is typically used in the diode
specifications, is adequate for the test. Table 2. Voltage-Temperature Coefficients
