As a core piece of equipment in the semiconductor testing sector, the thermal stream system provides indispensable technical support for chip reliability verification by precisely simulating environments characterized by extreme temperature fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dghuanyi.com\/temperature-forcing-system\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ecdn6-nc.globalso.com\/upload\/p\/3034\/image_other\/2026-09\/1742935953363738624-2f71384924.webp\" alt=\"1742935953363738624%2F7138492484ab5cd5fcc73e1ad59ffb7e.webp\" width=\"238\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Technical Core: Precise Temperature Cycling and Thermal Flow Visualization<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The core value of a <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dghuanyi.com\/temperature-forcing-system\/\">thermal stream system<\/a> lies in its ability to construct a three-dimensional testing scenario involving temperature, time, and stress. It operates by utilizing a high-precision PID algorithm to control hot and cold airflow, enabling rapid temperature transitions between 80&deg;C and 225&deg;C at rates of up to 50&deg;C\/min. Taking automotive-grade chip testing as an example, the equipment employs independent dual-channel temperature control technology; when simulating TC3 conditions (-40&deg;C to +125&deg;C), it dynamically adjusts compressor power and airflow velocity to precisely maintain the temperature change rate within a range of 15&deg;C\/min &plusmn; 2&deg;C.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This parameter configuration directly impacts the accuracy of solder joint fatigue life verification. For instance, during testing of a specific AI chip, the system detected a 35% degradation in solder joint shear force after 1,000 cycles, thereby providing a six-month early warning regarding the risk of CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) mismatch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Regarding data acquisition, modern thermal stream systems have transcended the limitations of traditional <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"anchor_47ae9ec4c0978a1293d1030e30034b8a\" title=\"Thermal Chamber\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dghuanyi.com\/thermal-chamber\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thermal Chamber<\/a>s. One specific model, for example, features a nanoscale thermopile sensor array capable of detecting minute temperature variations as small as 0.01&deg;C; when combined with infrared thermal imaging technology, it can generate detailed thermal hotspot maps of the chip&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Four Key Test Scenarios: Decoding Chip Thermal Failure<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"anchor_47ae9ec4c0978a1293d1030e30034b8a\" title=\"Temperature Cycling Test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dghuanyi.com\/temperature-cycling-test\/\" target=\"_blank\">Temperature Cycling Test<\/a> (TCT)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For automotive electronic chips, the thermal stream system simulates extreme temperature fluctuation environments ranging from -55&deg;C to +175&deg;C. The equipment employs a stepped temperature control strategy: a ramp rate of 20&deg;C\/min is used for stress screening during the first 500 cycles, while the rate is reduced to 5&deg;C\/min for reliability verification during the subsequent 500 cycles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a test involving power devices, the equipment dynamically adjusted voltage and junction temperatures to boost early-failure chip screening efficiency by 40%, strictly adhering to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2. High-Temperature Burn-in Test<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Under sustained stress at 125&deg;C, the thermal stream system tracks electromigration failures in real-time using four-wire resistance monitoring. Its built-in current source module provides a wide excitation range (0.1 &micro;A to 10 A); combined with nanovolt-level voltage acquisition precision, it successfully detected on-resistance drift in a MOSFET during a 72-hour burn-in test&mdash;identifying potential failure 120 hours earlier than traditional methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3. Thermal Resistance Test (Rth)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Combining heat flux density measurement with thermocouple monitoring, the equipment utilizes the JESD51-14 standard test method. During a wafer-level package test, a combination of SEM and infrared technologies revealed that when heat flux density exceeded 0.8 W\/mm&sup2;, the thermal resistance of a 5-layer stacked package rose exponentially&mdash;a phenomenon directly linked to process deviations in TSV (Through-Silicon Via) interconnect apertures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Test data indicates that packaging structures utilizing silicon carbide (SiC) substrates can reduce thermal resistance to 0.7&deg;C\/W.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4. Thermal Shock Test<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the testing of an aerospace-grade chip, the thermal stream system achieved instantaneous temperature switching between -196&deg;C and +300&deg;C. Utilizing a hybrid system of liquid nitrogen injection and infrared heating, the equipment completed temperature transitions within 10 seconds while keeping temperature overshoot within &plusmn;3&deg;C. Test results indicate that the ceramic package exhibits a thermal stress coefficient of 2.3 &times; 10\u207b\u2076\/&deg;C under extreme temperature differentials, successfully passing JAXA&#8217;s satellite component certification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Breakthroughs in Industry Applications<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">New Energy Vehicles: Utilized a dual-loop feedback system (integrating heat flow and electric current) to reduce BMS stability verification time by 40% and precisely pinpoint current density anomalies at the 0.5 mm&sup2; scale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">5G Communication Base Stations: Employed multi-physics coupling simulation technology to optimize chip power consumption by 15% and established a failure threshold model for thermal runaway with a false alarm rate as low as 0.05&permil;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Aerospace: Conducted full-temperature-range testing on materials for Long March rocket fuel tanks, identifying the formation of micro-cracks at the 0.02 mm scale when heat flux density exceeded 1.2 W\/cm&sup2;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a specialist in high- and low-temperature control, Huanyi Instruments is setting performance standards for thermal stream systems&mdash;featuring an ultra-wide temperature range of -120&deg;C to +300&deg;C and the capability to transition from +150&deg;C to -55&deg;C in under 10 seconds&mdash;thereby delivering more accurate and effective solutions for semiconductor testing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">About us<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dongguan Huanyi Instruments Technology Co., Ltd. was established on March 20, 2007, covering an area of 6,022 square meters.
