One of the most useful and versatile instruments for testing semiconductor devices is the curve tracer (CT). Although widely used by semiconductor
pdficon Mounting and Handling of Semiconductor Devices Application Note

Proper mounting and handling of semiconductor devices particularly those used in power applications is an important yet sometimes overlooked consideration in the assembly of electronic systems. Power devices need adequate heat dissipation to increase operating life and reliability and allow the device to operate within manufacturers' specifications. Also in order to avoid damage to the semiconductor chip or internal assembly the devices should not be abused during assembly. Very often device failures can be attributed directly to a heat sinking or assembly damage problem. The information in this application note guides the semiconductor user in the proper use of Teccor devices particularly the popular and versatile TO-220 and TO-202 epoxy packages.
pdficon Thyristor Fundamental Characteristics of Thyristors Application Note

The thyristor family of semiconductors consists of several very useful devices. The most widely used of this family are silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) triacs sidacs and diacs. In many applications these devices perform key functions and are real assets in meeting environmental speed and reliability specifications which their electro-mechanical counterparts cannot fulfill. This application note presents the basic fundamentals of SCR triac sidac and diac thyristors so the user understands how they differ in characteristics and parameters from their electromechanical counterparts. Also thyristor terminology is defined.

pdficon Surface Mount Soldering Recommendations Application Note

The most important consideration in reliability is achieving a good solder bond between surface mount device (SMD) and substrate since the solder provides the thermal path from the chip. A good bond is less subject to thermal fatiguing and will result in improved device reliability. This application note discusses the different soldering methods for Littelfuse's Teccor brand thyristor products.
