Two different protection diodes are investigated with electro-thermal simulation and transient interferometric thermal-mapping experiments in a new complementary approach. The prediction capability of the simulation tool is validated up to the thermal failure of the p-n junction. The temperature distribution and its dynamics during the application of high-current pulses are studied by comparing the calculated and experimental optical phase shifts: a quantitative agreement both in temporal evolution and space distribution of temperature is obtained up to 1100 K.

Abstract
Two different protection diodes are investigated with electro-thermal simulation and transient interferometric thermal-mapping experiments in a new complementary approach. The prediction capability of the simulation tool is validated up to the thermal failure of the p-n junction. The temperature distribution and its dynamics during the application of high-current pulses are studied by comparing the calculated and experimental optical phase shifts: a quantitative agreement both in temporal evolution and space distribution of temperature is obtained up to 1100 K.File in questo prodotto:
