[0002] Before use, on-chip S-parameter measurement systems used in the microelectronics industry require calibration using appropriate methods. Most existing on-chip calibration methods employ the 8-team error model. This 8-team error model characterizes various imperfections in system source / load matching, reflection / transmission tracking, directivity, and isolation, and exhibits high accuracy in the on-chip S-parameter, coaxial, and waveguide fields, thus gaining widespread application.

[0003] When calibrating an on-chip S-parameter measurement system using an 8-team error model, the standard value of the load inductance is typically used directly for calibration. However, since the load inductance value changes in real time due to the different positions of the pressure pins during measurement, calibration using only the standard value of the load inductance may introduce errors.

[0052] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device provided in the embodiments of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0053] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] See Figure 1 This illustrates the 8-team error model provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1As shown, the 8-team error characterizes the imperfections in source / load matching, reflection / transmission tracking, directivity, and isolation of on-chip S-parameter measurement systems. It exhibits high accuracy in on-chip S-parameter measurement, coaxial, and waveguide applications, and is therefore widely used. The SOLT (Short-Open-Load-Thru) calibration method requires accurate knowledge of the definitions of four calibration components; the TRL (Thru-Reflect-Line) calibration method has high requirements for the load calibration components, and its frequency coverage is not wide enough due to the use of only one transmission line; the LRRM (Line-Reflect-Reflect-Match) calibration method has fewer requirements for the definitions of calibration components. For the two reflection calibration components, it is not necessary to know their inductance and capacitance; only their theoretical delay needs to be calculated. The inductance in the load calibration component is extracted in real time based on the probe position. Therefore, the LRRM calibration method has high accuracy and is widely used.

[0056] See Figure 2 This illustrates the 8-team error model represented by ABCD parameters provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the eight-item error model is usually represented by S-parameters. In the actual solution process, the error networks need to be cascaded. The error networks are represented by transfer parameters (ABCD) (ABCD parameters and S-parameters have a one-to-one correspondence) to facilitate cascaded calculation. The conversion relationship between ABCD parameters and S-parameters is shown in equation (1):

[0057]

[0058] Among them, S 11 S 12 S 21 S 22 This represents the S-parameters.

[0059] Vector network analyzers, as an on-chip S-parameter measurement system, play a crucial role in the field of on-chip S-parameter measurement. The calibration process for an on-chip S-parameter measurement system can be as follows:

[0060] SS01 uses an uncalibrated on-chip S-parameter measurement system to measure the on-chip load calibration component and obtain the on-chip load S-parameters; it also uses the same system to measure the on-chip short-circuit calibration component and obtain the on-chip short-circuit S-parameters; and finally, it uses the same system to measure the on-chip open-circuit calibration component and obtain the on-chip open-circuit S-parameters. The load inductance of the on-chip load calibration component is a known standard value.

[0061] SS02 uses on-chip load S-parameters, on-chip short-circuit S-parameters, and on-chip open-circuit S-parameters to calculate eight errors, namely: A1 / D1, B1 / D1, C1 / D1, A2 / D2, B2 / D2, C2 / D2, and D1D2.

[0062] SS03 uses eight error parameters to calibrate an uncalibrated on-chip S-parameter measurement system, thereby obtaining a calibrated on-chip S-parameter measurement system.

[0063] During actual calibration, the position of the indenter during calibration may affect the on-chip short-circuit calibrator, on-chip load calibrator, and on-chip open-circuit calibrator, meaning the nominal value may not be the actual value. After assessment, the effect of the indenter position on the on-chip short-circuit and on-chip open-circuit calibrators is negligible. However, it has a significant impact on the load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator. Different indenter positions correspond to different load inductances. Without calibration, directly measuring the device under test based on the standard load inductance may result in inaccurate measurements.

[0064] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method for extracting load inductance from on-chip S-parameters, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] See Figure 3 This illustrates a flowchart of the implementation of the on-chip S-parameter extraction method for load inductance provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, a method for extracting load inductance from on-chip S-parameters may include steps S101 to S103.

[0066] S101, Obtain the measurement value of the short-circuit calibrator.

[0067] A vector network analyzer can be used to measure the on-chip open-circuit calibrator, on-chip short-circuit calibrator, and on-chip load calibrator respectively, and the measured value of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator can be calculated based on the measurement results.

[0068] For a two-port network, it includes a first port and a second port. Correspondingly, the measurements of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator can include: a first short-circuit measurement of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator at the first port, and / or a second short-circuit measurement of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator at the second port. The specific method can be selected based on the actual situation.

[0069] For example, the process of obtaining measurements from an on-chip open-circuit calibrator may include:

[0070] S1011 uses an on-chip S-parameter measurement system to measure the on-chip load calibration component, on-chip open circuit calibration component, and on-chip short circuit calibration component respectively, and obtains the on-chip load S-parameter, on-chip open circuit S-parameter, and on-chip short circuit S-parameter.

[0071] Specifically, the on-chip load S-parameters are obtained by measuring the on-chip load calibration component using an on-chip S-parameter measurement system. The on-chip short-circuit S-parameters are obtained by measuring the on-chip short-circuit calibration component using the same system. The on-chip open-circuit S-parameters are obtained by measuring the on-chip open-circuit calibration component using the same system.

[0072] S1012 calculates the initial eight errors of the on-chip S-parameter measurement system based on the on-chip load S-parameter, on-chip open-circuit S-parameter, and on-chip short-circuit S-parameter.

[0073] Based on the on-chip load S-parameters, on-chip open-circuit S-parameters, and on-chip short-circuit S-parameters, the initial eight errors of the on-chip S-parameter measurement system can be calculated.

[0074] S1013, calculates the measured value of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator based on the initial eight errors.

[0075] Based on existing methods, the measured values ​​of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator can be calculated according to the initial eight errors. The embodiments described in this application will not be elaborated upon here.

[0076] S102, based on a predetermined first relationship, calculates the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator according to the load resistance value of the on-chip load calibrator and the measured value of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator.

[0077] The load resistance of the on-chip load calibrator is a known standard value, and its influence during actual measurement is negligible. To further ensure measurement reliability, a digital multimeter can be used to measure the load resistance of the on-chip load calibrator. The current load inductance of the load calibrator can then be accurately calculated using this measured value, further improving calibration accuracy.

[0078] The first relation can be expressed as equation (2), as follows:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, L load,short R represents the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator extracted using the on-chip short-circuit calibrator. load This represents the load resistance value of the on-chip load calibration component, real(Z). app,short ) represents the real part of the measured value of the short-circuit calibrator, imag(Z) app,short ) represents the imaginary part of the measured value of the short-circuit calibrator.

[0081] S103 calibrates the device under test based on the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator.

[0082] After obtaining the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device, the eight-term error can be recalculated, i.e., the corrected eight-term error can be obtained. Then, the measured values ​​of the device under test (DUT) are calibrated using the corrected eight-term error to obtain the true value of the DUT. The DUT can be a microwave module, such as a DUT.

[0083] For example, the calibration process may include:

[0084] S1031 calculates the correction of eight errors for the on-chip S-parameter measurement system based on the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator.

[0085] The eight errors of the on-chip S-parameter measurement system can be recalculated based on the current load inductance, on-chip load S-parameters, on-chip open-circuit S-parameters, and on-chip short-circuit S-parameters of the on-chip load calibrator, and these eight errors can be used as corrections for the eight errors.

[0086] S1032, calibrate the test piece according to the correction of eight errors.

[0087] For each device under test (DUT), the load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator changes due to the different probe positions during measurement. Therefore, the current load inductance can be recalculated for each measurement, and then the eight error correction terms can be calculated to correct the measured value of the DUT, thus obtaining the true value of the DUT.

[0088] This application embodiment extracts the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator by utilizing the measurement value of the on-chip short-circuit calibrator, and then corrects the measurement value of the device under test to obtain the true value of the device under test. This can improve the measurement accuracy and reliability of the on-chip S-parameter measurement system.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, the first relation includes at least one of the following;

[0090] The first on-chip short-circuit relationship is:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, L load,short,1 R represents the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator extracted at the first port using the on-chip short-circuit calibrator. 1,load This represents the load resistance value at the first port of the on-chip load calibrator, real(Z). 1,app,short ) represents the real part of the first short-circuit measurement value at the first port of the chip short-circuit calibrator, imag(Z) 1,app,short ) represents the imaginary part of the first short-circuit measurement, w = 2πf, where f represents the frequency of the on-chip S-parameter measurement system;

[0093] The second short-circuit relationship in the chip is:

[0094]

[0095] Among them, L load,short,2 R represents the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator extracted at the second port using the on-chip short-circuit calibrator. 2,load This represents the load resistance value at the second port of the on-chip load calibrator, real(Z). 2,app,short ) represents the real part of the second short-circuit measurement value at the second port of the chip short-circuit calibrator, imag(Z) 2,app,short ) represents the imaginary part of the second short-circuit measurement.

[0096] The reasoning process for the first relation in the embodiments of this application is given below:

[0097] See Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the relationship between parameters ABCD and voltage and current in an embodiment of this application. (See also...) Figure 5 The diagram shows an equivalent circuit diagram of the on-chip load calibration device in an embodiment of this application.

[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, ABCD are parameters represented by voltage and current. According to the definition, when measuring on-chip calibration, we get the relationships (5) and (6).

[0214]

[0215] Equations (18), (20) and (30), (33), (34) yield equations (52) and (53) as follows:

[0216]

[0217]

[0218] From equation (53), we obtain the second on-chip open-circuit relation (39), as follows:

[0219]

[0220] The above is the derivation process of obtaining the first on-chip open-circuit relation (38) and the second on-chip open-circuit relation (39) provided in the embodiments of this application. The current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator can be extracted according to the equations (38) and / or (39).

[0221] The embodiments of this application extract the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device by pre-deriving the first relation, namely the first on-chip open-circuit relation and the second on-chip open-circuit relation. The calculation is convenient and fast, which can improve the calibration efficiency of the on-chip S-parameter measurement system.

[0222] In some embodiments of this application, the "calculating the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator" in S102 above may include:

[0223] Will As the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device, or to As the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator, or to calculate L load,open,1 L load,open,2 L load,short,1 and L load,short,2 The average value is used as the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator.

[0224] When the first relation only includes the first on-chip open-circuit relation, and the second relation only includes the first on-chip short-circuit relation, then... The current load inductance serves as the on-chip load calibration component.

[0225] When the first relation only includes the second on-chip open-circuit relation, and the second relation only includes the second on-chip short-circuit relation, then... The current load inductance serves as the on-chip load calibration component.

[0226] When the first relation includes a first on-chip open-circuit relation and a second on-chip open-circuit relation, and the second relation includes a first on-chip short-circuit relation and a second on-chip open-circuit relation, calculate L. load,open,1 L load,open,2 L load,short,1 and L load,short,2 The average value is used as the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator.

[0227] Furthermore, it may also include: when the first relation only includes the first on-chip open-circuit relation, and the second relation only includes the second on-chip short-circuit relation, then... As the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device. When the first relationship includes only the second on-chip open-circuit relationship, and the second relationship includes only the first on-chip short-circuit relationship, then... The current load inductance serves as the on-chip load calibration component. The specific inductance can be selected based on actual conditions, and will not be elaborated upon in the embodiments of this application.

[0228] In some embodiments of this application, the load inductance calculated by the second relation can also be used as the current load inductance of the on-chip calibration device. For example, L can be... load,open,1 As the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device, or L load,open,2 As the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device, or to The current load inductance is used as the on-chip load calibration component. The specific inductance can be selected based on the actual situation.

[0229] As the frequency changes, the load inductance exhibits a frequency response, and averaging the inductance within a frequency band can reduce the impact introduced by the frequency response. Therefore, in some embodiments of this application, the "calculating the current load inductance of the on-chip load calibrator" in S102 above may further include:

[0230] The average value of the load inductance within the preset frequency band is taken as the load inductance of the load calibration device.

[0231] Right now:

[0232] Among them, L oad Indicates the load inductance of the on-chip load calibration device, L1, L2, ..., L n This represents the extracted load inductance value at various frequency points within a preset frequency band. The preset frequency band can be a band above 2GHz, and can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0233] This application embodiment calculates the average value of the load inductance within a preset frequency band as the current load inductance of the on-chip calibration component. Then, considering the influence of the pressure pin position on the on-chip load calibration component, it comprehensively considers the influence of frequency, making the calculation results more accurate and further improving the accuracy of the measurement of the device under test.

[0234] For example, see Figure 6 This illustrates the measurement results of parameter S21 provided in an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 7 It shows the measurement results of the S11 parameter provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0235] A 10dB attenuator was selected as the device under test. The same on-chip S-parameter measurement system was calibrated in the 100MHz to 67GHz frequency band using the load inductance value extracted by the method provided in the embodiments of this application and the LRRM calibration method of the prior art. After calibration, the same 10dB attenuator was measured to obtain the S-parameters of the reference surface at the probe end, and the measurement results were compared.

[0237] according to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The results show that the method provided in this application embodiment has a maximum transmission amplitude deviation of 0.15 dB and a maximum reflection amplitude deviation of 0.08 dB compared to the measurement of the same 10 dB attenuator using WinCAL software. The real-time extraction method for load inductance in this invention is reasonable and meets the requirements for on-chip S-parameter calibration and testing.

[0238] This application first calculates the ratio of the measured value to the actual value based on the reference plane of the on-chip open-circuit calibrator or the on-chip short-circuit calibrator when it is in the middle of the through circuit. Then, the load inductance value extracted in real time during on-chip S-parameter calibration is calculated using the S-parameter measurements of the on-chip open-circuit calibrator, the on-chip short-circuit calibrator, and the DC resistance measurement of the on-chip load calibrator. Finally, the average load inductance value within the frequency band is taken to reduce the influence introduced by the frequency response. This enables accurate measurement of the device under test (DUT) while achieving good performance indicators, meeting the requirements of on-chip S-parameter calibration and testing, and has certain economic and social benefits.
