Popis: 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
