High resolution non-contact thermal characterization of semiconductor devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-contact optical methods can be used for sub micron surface thermal characterization of active semiconductor devices. Point measurements were first made, and then real time thermal images were acquired with a specialized PINarray detector. This method of thermal imaging can have spatial resolution better than the diffraction limit of an infrared camera and can work in a wide range of ambient temperatures. The experimentally obtained thermal resolution is on the order of 50mK.

Characterization of Heat Propagation along Single Tin Dioxide Nanobelt Using the Thermoreflectance Method
In this paper, we studied heat transfer properties of a single tin dioxide nanobelt using non-contact high resolution thermoreflectance imaging technique. Temperature difference across the nanobelt was created by attaching its both ends to a microfabricated thin film heater and sensor pair. High resolution thermal images of the nanobelt and thin film devices were obtained at variant pulsing cur...
