Abstract
This article provides an introduction to liquid crystal hot spot detection and its use in electronic device failure analysis. It describes how liquid crystal responds to temperature changes and the equipment typically used to observe it. It explains how to apply these materials to test specimens, how to optimize measurement sensitivity, and how to interpret the results. It also presents hot spot detection procedures and describes failure scenarios for which the method is particularly effective.
