The ongoing pandemic continues to impact the tech industry and automotive industries alike. At the dawn of the pandemic, tech spending increased by 12% as consumers adhered to the strict stay-at-home orders [1]. The drastic spending spree has led to the inevitable global semiconductor chip shortage. Now, as the new wave of the pandemic crashes, enterprises are missing critical…

One of the biggest mistakes a thermal engineer can make in estimating the junction temperature of a semiconductor device is hidden in a second-order effect. Many know that a material’s properties can have a temperature dependence. However, many engineers overlook that the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity in semiconductors can have big consequences. A common…
