Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor, in particular to a high-temperature bias test system and method for power semiconductor device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In system applications, the factors affecting the life of IGBT module are electrical load and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust, cosmic rays, mechanical vibration, etc.). The influence of environmental factors may vary greatly and is uncertain in different applications. Existing research mainly focuses on the life or failure of IGBT module under the mutual coupling of electric field, thermal field and structural field. When IGBT module is running, each part generates heat due to loss, causing the temperature of the module to rise, and the change of temperature will also cause the change of electrical properties of each layer of material of the module, which in turn will affect the temperature distribution. At the same time, the thermal stress caused by temperature rise will cause fatigue failure of IGBT module. During the fatigue crack propagation period, local cracks will cause the reduction of electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity in that area, thereby causing temperature rise and voltage change. In order to meet the performance and life requirements in applications, a series of durability and reliability tests need to be carried out on IGBT devices during the development process, that is, through the comprehensive action of stress to accelerate the process of various physical changes and chemical reactions inside the device, and to expose potential defects in the early stage. According to relevant standards, high-temperature gate bias test and high-temperature blocking test are two very important reliability tests for IGBT devices. High-temperature gate bias test is mainly used to verify the stability of gate leakage current under the highest junction temperature and other test conditions, and the test object is mainly the IGBT gate oxide layer, which needs to be continuously monitored during the test. High-temperature blocking test is mainly used to verify the collector-emitter leakage current under the highest junction temperature, high voltage and other test conditions, and the test object is mainly the weakness or degradation effect of IGBT edge structure and passivation layer.
