Method and apparatus for rapid thermal testing

摘要: An apparatus for rapid thermal testing of samples consisting a single sample chamber in which the are preferably arranged circularly around opening through fluid varying temperature, air, is introduced to provide rapid, uniform cooling and heating samples. The uniformly spaced allow air flow. mounted slots oriented radially outward from opening. mounts comprise electrical connectors form network connected at least one ohmmeter measuring resistance test coupons, each with multiple daisy-chained nets vias or other components be tested. Also method steps characterize before run. First, correlates target temperature determined, time required reach that when they heated cooled measured. Then, reliability testing, cycled between temperatures, where cycle segment durations given by times measured characterization steps.
