Abstract
This paper presents the most common thermal characterisation methods for
semiconductor diodes and discusses why thermal characterisation is important
for the diode reliability assessment. A special case of thermal
characterisation of THz frequency Schottky diodes for MetOp Second Generation
(MetOp-SG) satellite program instruments is covered in more detail. The
benefits of accurate thermal characterisation in this case are explained and
the drawbacks of unknown self-heating are discussed
