Abstract

A method for simulating a thermal resistance value of a thermal test die is provided to estimate a relationship between the thermal resistance value of a heating block and the thermal resistance value of the thermal test die, and to find out a size of the heating block that matches an actual thermal situation of the thermal test die. In addition, after being tested by the heating block, the reliability of the testing result may be improved by verifying whether the relationship of a transient response of thermal resistance of the heating block and a steady-state response of thermal resistance of the thermal test die is within a range of a setting variation.
