ABSTRACT:
A test apparatus and method is provided for dynamic thermal and electrical fatigue testing of a semiconductor in an operating environment, such as air, that mimic thermal and electrical stress in the semiconductor during high power switching in the operating environment. Comparisons of pre- and post-testing electrical measurements, i.e., current, voltage and contact resistance, are combined to provide an indicator or long-term reliability.
