Abstract
There are numerous methods for measuring the temperature of an operating semiconductor device. The methods can be broadly placed into three generic categories: electrical, optical, and physically contacting. The fundamentals underlying each of the categories are discussed, and a review of the variety of techniques within each category is given. Some of the advantages and disadvantages as well as the spatial, time, and temperature resolution are also provided.Keywords
