While the latter is fully solved by up-to-date thermal testers, power level setting is typically limited to forcing varying current levels on two pin devices, such as diodes. Other proposed methods need trials for setting the power and have poor stability.The paper presents a methodology for applying power in various test arrangements, on devices with three pins such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, BJTs and HEMTs. A simple analog circuitry is proposed which ensures thermally and electrically stable powering and an exact operating voltage and current.Several simulation and measurement experiments prove that a novel solution based on fast drain-source voltage change at constant current ensures optimal powering in reliability tests and short electric distortion in transient tests. © 2023 IEEE.}, keywords = {wide band gap semiconductors; high electron mobility transistors; Data acquisition; Energy gap; MOSFETS; Transient analysis; Thermal transient testing; Thermal transient testing; Reliability testing; Reliability testing; well testing; MOSFET; High power; High power; Wide-band-gap semiconductors; Drain current; Power levels; Power MOSFET; MOS-FET; Wide-band-gap semiconductor; Thermal transients; Transient tests}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Ress, Sándor László/0000-0003-4611-0718; Kerecsen Istvánné Rencz, Márta/0000-0003-4183-3853} } @inproceedings{MTMT:33698131, title = {Accelerating the Thermal Transient Testing by a Novel Temperature Sensitive Parameter Calibration Method based on I-V Characteristic Measurement}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33698131}, author = {Ress, Sándor László and Sarkany, Zoltan and Farkas, Gabor and Kerecsen Istvánné Rencz, Márta}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 28th International Workshop on THERMal INvestigation of ICs and Systems (THERMINIC'22)}, doi = {10.1109/THERMINIC57263.2022.9950658}, unique-id = {33698131}, abstract = {Thermal characterisation of each large power module or assembly is inevitable in the industry.

The optical and thermal laboratory test procedures, if properly combined, may provide the right set of test data, if both the forward current and the junction temperature are swept over the foreseen operating domain of the LED package to be modelled.

In this paper the procedure of the nanoparticle aggregation is investigated numerically in the microchamber in a micro domain simulation space. First the acting forces on the MNPs are examined from the different phenomena. An in-house numerical model is presented where the dynamics of several MNPs are simulated in the micro-size domain.
