Abstract
A disclosed Thermal Test Vehicle (TTV) for simulating the thermal characteristics of a certain integrated circuit may include (1) a substrate that serves as both (A) an electrical insulator that resists electrical energy and (B) a thermal conductor that conducts thermal energy and (2) one or more resistive elements coupled to the substrate, wherein the resistive elements extend across a majority of at least one dimension of the substrate. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
