Use Forward Voltage Drop To Measure Junction Temperature
Semiconductor junctions ? from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible ? can all suffer early failure due to increased heat. This becomes an even larger issue when feature size shrinks and current requirements expand. Even normal operation can create heat buildup, raising the junction temperature. Such elevated temperatures may increase the amount of defects within the junction, decreasing performance and shortening...
