    With the Simcenter Micred Quality Tester from Siemens, engineers can assess a semiconductor package's thermal structure to identify manufacturing defects, including die-attach issues. Precise measurement of thermal response to a short power pulse allows for high-throughput semiconductor testing, including junction-to-case thermal-resistance verification.

    Junction temperature measurement is performed via an electrical method using built-in Simcenter Micred T3STER technology. As an IC test handler picks and places devices for test, each device is qualified for automated binning compared to a gold standard thermal-impedance curve and preset bandings of variation.
