SEMICONDUCTOR TEST

and raising the current by a factor of 10
raises the energy by a factor of 1,000.
Spreading this energy to more components-like using more parallel needles-
is sometimes possible according to the
design of the DUT. Especially on waferlevel and bare-die-level, there is no chance
to raise the number of needles by these
factors. This very often results in a compromise, which means lowering test currents to a level which could be handled.
Another challenge on wafer- and baredie-level is that the silicon itself may not
be stressed thermally since there is no
proper possibility for cooling the DUT
in that production stage.
The thermal power losses in a MOSFET
are likely the same as in any other ohmic
resistor, so the same rules may be applied
as we did before for cabling, matrix, and
so on. But there is one major difference:
The amount of thermal energy which
could be brought into the DUT is fixed
and mainly defined by the thermal

We at Evaluation Engineering are always looking for
as much contributed educational content as we can.
With that, here are the topics we're looking to receive
contributed articles for in our upcoming issues:
* July: Inspection, Compliance
* August: Software-Defined-Radio, Mil/Aero
* September: Medical Test, Wireless Test
These are all broad topics, but we'd let you, the contributor,
pick the specific focus. The format is also up to you. It
can be a best-practices article, a 'what's trending'-type of
piece, predictions, tips, a Q&A, or you can simply send us
commentary on a certain focus in one of those topics.
OUR GUIDELINES: The key for these articles is to be
educational/non-promotional. We'd like such an article
to range from 600 to about 2,200 words, include any
accompanying figures and imagery (hi-resolution), the
author's headshot, and up to 50 words of 'about the
author' information.

INTERESTED? Reach out to EE Editor-in-Chief Mike Hockett at
mhockett@evaluationengineering.com with an idea or abstract.
