Patent number: 10816401Abstract: A method for providing a high spatial resolution thermal imaging of an active electronic device. The method includes placing an electronic device on a testing stage of an imaging system. The method, calibrating the imaging system by determining thermoreflectance coefficient for a plurality of pixels forming thermal images, each pixel having a coordinate (x,y) captured from the electronic device at each of a plurality of wavelengths of illumination (CTRi(x,y,?i), activating the electronic device, and determining changes in reflection for each of the plurality of pixels at each of the plurality of wavelengths (?R/R), determining ?R/R vs. CTRi(x,y,?i) for each of the plurality of pixels for each of the plurality of wavelengths, fitting ?R/R vs. CTRi(x,y,?i) to a predetermined mathematical function and use the parameters to calculate the temperature at each pixel.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: MICROSANJ, LLCInventors: Dustin Kendig, Ali Shakouri, Hamid Piroozi

Patent number: 10670475Abstract: A method for determining change in temperature of an electromagnetically radiating device between un-energized and energized states without contacting the device is disclosed. The method includes establishing a reference image form the device by illuminating the device with an optical signal having a first optical characteristic and capturing the reference image from the device in an un-energized state, establishing an on image form the device by illuminating the device in an energized state, and establishing a modified on image form the device by illuminating the device in the energized state with a modified optical signal having a third illuminating optical characteristic, and comparing the reference image, the on image, and the modified on image to establish changes in reflection as a result of changes in temperature of the device during energization.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: MICROSANJ, LLCInventors: Dustin Kendig, Ali Shakouri, Hamid Piroozi, James Christofferson
