  • Measurement device for estimating thermal characteristics, and measurement method for estimating thermal characteristics by using same
    Patent number: 11327034
    Abstract: A measurement device for estimating thermal characteristics includes a heat generating source unit that has heat sensors for detecting heat radiating toward a measurement sample unit, and that heats the measurement sample unit, the measurement sample unit, and a heat cooling source unit that has heat sensors for detecting heat radiating from the measurement sample unit, and that cools the measurement sample unit, wherein those units are sequentially stacked, the measurement sample unit has a three-layer structure consisting of an object to be measured for estimating thermal characteristics, and heat conducting materials that sandwich the object, the heat conducting materials are adhered to the heat generating source unit and the heat cooling source unit one another through a heat-transfer promoting agent therebetween, the object to be measured for estimating thermal characteristics and the heat conducting materials are adhered to one another through physical contact, chemical contact, and/or chemical bond con
