ABSTRACT:
An environmental testing chamber (10) and thermal cycling method in which, in addition to stressing the device (20) under test with electrical bias (32), elevated temperature (12), pressure (16), and humidity (18) while the device is being monitored (32), a thermoelectric heat pump (26) quickly cycles the temperature of the device by pumping heat from the heat sink (22) mounting the device to another larger heat sink (24).
