Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to testing technology, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for determining thermal resistance and temperature rise of a switching circuit. Background Art

[0002] Thermal resistance testing is a routine test item for semiconductor devices (chips). The results of thermal resistance testing are of great reference value for analyzing the service life and reliability of semiconductor devices, as well as the design rationality of circuits containing semiconductor devices. Thermal resistance testing methods mainly include infrared scanning, electrical measurement, and transient thermal test interface method. Among them, the infrared scanning method requires opening the cover of the device (chip), which is destructive. The electrical measurement method usually uses the shell temperature of the package for calculation. However, due to the certain difference between the size of the package and the size of the semiconductor device, the thermal resistance of the semiconductor device calculated based on the package shell temperature has certain errors. The transient thermal test interface method has higher accuracy and reproducibility than the electrical measurement method and is the more mainstream thermal resistance test method.

[0003] Taking the JESD51-14 thermal resistance transient dual-interface test method as an example, the transient thermal test interface method usually requires the assistance of professional test instruments. For example, the T3ster instrument is used to test semiconductor devices to record the transient change process of the module junction temperature, obtain steady-state junction-to-case thermal resistance data, obtain the transient curve of the junction temperature change over time, and analyze the thermal resistance of each layer structure on the heat conduction path of the semiconductor device.

[0004] Based on JESD51-14, taking the thermal resistance test of the chip as an example, the thermal resistance of the chip can be determined by the following method: Apply a value of I H The heating current lasts for t H After the device under test is working stably, the heating current is switched to the test current; during the process of junction temperature dropping, the change in junction temperature and power consumption is determined, and the thermal resistance is determined by the change in junction temperature and power consumption.

[0005] Based on the above, thermal resistance testing methods for semiconductor devices typically only consider the device itself. Therefore, using these thermal resistances to analyze the temperature rise of devices mounted on a PCB can result in a certain degree of deviation, which can affect the determination of the rationality of the PCB (and circuit) design.

[0019] R3=KT×R1

[0020] Wherein, R3 represents the third resistor, KT represents the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device, and R1 represents the first resistor.

[0021] Optionally, the resistive device includes at least a welding portion and a fuse device of the MOS device under test.

[0022] Optionally, the thermal resistance is used to determine the steady-state temperature of the MOS device under test at a specified current after the device has operated for a specified period of time.

[0023] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for determining a temperature rise of a BMS switch circuit, wherein the BMS switch circuit includes a plurality of MOS devices. The method for determining a temperature rise of the BMS switch circuit includes:

[0024] The thermal resistance of a single MOS device in the BMS switch circuit is determined using the MOS device thermal resistance determination method described in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] Optionally, a current calculation model is obtained, and a test current of a single MOS device is determined based on the power calculation.

[0026] Optionally, the current calculation model is determined according to a combination mode of the MOS devices, and the combination mode at least includes a series connection mode and a parallel connection mode of the MOS devices.

[0027] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, comprising at least one processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor;

[0028] The memory stores a computer program executable by the at least one processor, and the computer program is executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the method for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device described in an embodiment of the present invention, or the method for determining the temperature rise of a BMS switch circuit described in an embodiment of the present invention.

This method takes into account various factors that may affect the MOS device on a PCB board, so that the calculated thermal resistance will be closer to the actual test value. In this solution, a test current is selected, and the steady-state temperature of the MOS device under test in stable operation under the test current is determined. Subsequent calculations are performed based on the test current and the steady-state temperature. Specifically, the on-resistance of the MOS device under test at the steady-state temperature is determined by an on-resistance-temperature curve, the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device is determined by the on-resistance-temperature curve, and then the resistance value of the resistive device at the steady-state temperature is determined. The test power is determined using the on-resistance at the steady-state temperature and the resistance value (of the resistive device). This can reduce the problem of inaccurate test power calculation caused by different temperatures when using two parts of resistance value to determine the test power, thereby ensuring the calculation accuracy of the thermal resistance. At the same time, when determining the thermal resistance using the test power calculated from the on-resistance at the steady-state temperature and the resistance value, the thermal resistance can be directly applied to the temperature rise of the (tested) MOS device under other test currents, and then the temperature rise curves of the MOS device under different currents can be obtained, which facilitates the rationality analysis of the circuit design based on the MOS device.

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the method for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device in an embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , the method for determining the thermal resistance of MOS devices includes:

[0039] S101. Obtain a first temperature of the MOS device under test when it is operating stably.

[0040] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the first temperature may be obtained through measurement, and the first temperature may be the junction temperature or surface temperature of the MOS device under test when it is in a stable working state under a specified test current.

[0041] For example, in this embodiment, the test current is based on the drain-source nominal current (I D ), for example, if the drain-source nominal current of a MOS device under test is 100-300A, the test current can be selected as 200A.

[0042] S102. Acquire the ambient temperature, and acquire a first resistance value of a resistive device connected to the MOS device under test at the ambient temperature.

[0043] For example, in this embodiment, the ambient temperature is used to represent the normal temperature of the MOS device under test when it is in a non-operating state, which is a set value. For example, the ambient temperature may be 25°C.

[0044] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the first resistance value may be determined according to a parameter manual of the resistive component, or determined through a calibration test.

[0045] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the resistive device at least includes a pad (or a welding portion) for welding the MOS device under test.

[0046] S103 . Obtain an on-resistance-temperature curve of the MOS device under test, and determine a second resistance value of the MOS device under test at the first temperature based on the on-resistance-temperature curve.

[0047] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the on-resistance-temperature curve of the MOS device under test is determined according to a parameter manual of the MOS device under test.

[0048] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the on-resistance-temperature curve are temperature and on-resistance, respectively. When the first temperature is determined, the corresponding on-resistance can be determined through the on-resistance-temperature curve.

[0049] S104. Using the first temperature and the ambient temperature, determine the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device through an on-resistance-temperature curve.

[0050] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the slope of the on-resistance-temperature curve in the temperature range from ambient temperature to the first temperature is determined, and the slope is used as the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device.

[0051] That is, in this embodiment, the formula used to determine the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device is:

[0052]

[0053] Where KT represents the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device, R ds1 Indicates the on-resistance of the MOS device under test at the first temperature, R ds2 The on-resistance of the MOS device under test at ambient temperature, where T1 represents the first temperature and T2 represents the second temperature.

[0054] S105. Determine a third resistance value of the resistive component at the first temperature based on the first resistance value and the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive component.

[0055] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the first resistance value and the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device may be used to determine the third resistance value through a fitting function model or a neural network model.

[0056] Optionally, as an implementation scheme, the third resistor can be determined by the following formula:

[0057] R3=KT×R1

[0058] Wherein, R3 represents the third resistor, KT represents the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device, and R1 represents the first resistor.

[0059] S106. Obtain a test current of the MOS device under test, and determine a test power using the test current, the second resistance value, and the third resistance value.

[0060] For example, in this embodiment, the MOS device includes a single MOS transistor, and the formula used to determine the test power is:

[0061]

[0062] Where, P represents the test power, I c Represents the test current, R2 represents the second resistor, and R3 represents the third resistor.

[0063] Exemplarily, in this step, the value of the test current may be the same as or different from the value of the test current used in step S101. For example, in this step, the value of the test current may be 200A.

[0064] S107 . Determine the thermal resistance of the MOS device under test according to the test power, the first temperature, and the ambient temperature.

[0065] For example, in this embodiment, the formula used to determine the thermal resistance is:

[0066]

[0067] Where R th represents thermal resistance, P represents test power, T1 represents the first temperature, T c Indicates the ambient temperature.

[0068] For example, in this embodiment, the thermal resistance determined in steps S101 to S107 can be used to determine the steady-state temperature of a MOS device (of the same model as the MOS device being tested) after operating for a specified period of time at any operating current. The formula used to determine the steady-state temperature is:

[0069] T=I 2 ×R×R th

[0070] Where T represents the steady-state temperature, I represents the operating current, R represents the on-resistance of the MOS device under test (minimum drain-source nominal current, on-resistance at ambient temperature), and R th Indicates thermal resistance.

[0071] Illustratively, in the above application manner, the specified duration may be determined based on experience. For example, the specified duration may be greater than 1 second.

[0072] For example, if the operating time of the MOS device is less than a specified time (eg, 1 second), the steady-state temperature may be determined by the thermal resistance given in the parameter manual of the MOS device.

[0073] This embodiment provides a method for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device. In this method, a test power is determined by combining the on-resistance of the MOS device under test and the resistance of a resistive device connected to the device. The thermal resistance of the MOS device under test is then determined based on the test power. This method takes into account various factors that may affect the placement of the MOS device on a PCB, so the calculated thermal resistance is closer to the actual test value.

[0074] Specifically, in this solution, a test current is selected, and the steady-state temperature of the MOS device under test in stable operation under the test current is determined. Subsequent calculations are performed based on the test current and the steady-state temperature, including: determining the on-resistance of the MOS device under test at the steady-state temperature through an on-resistance-temperature curve, determining the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device through the on-resistance-temperature curve, and then determining the resistance value of the resistive device at the steady-state temperature; determining the test power using the on-resistance at the steady-state temperature and the resistance value of the resistive device, thereby reducing the problem of inaccurate test power calculation due to temperature differences when using two resistance values ​​to determine the test power, thereby ensuring the calculation accuracy of the thermal resistance; at the same time, when determining the thermal resistance using the test power calculated from the on-resistance at the steady-state temperature and the resistance value, the thermal resistance can be directly applied to the temperature rise of the MOS device under other test currents, thereby obtaining the temperature rise curves of the MOS device under different currents, thereby facilitating the rationality analysis of circuit design based on MOS devices;

[0075] In addition, when the present invention is used to determine the thermal resistance of a MOS device, the test current can be a selected value, that is, the measured quantity can only include the first temperature of the MOS device under test when it is working stably, without the need for complex measurement data collection work, and is easy to realize automatically.

[0076] Based on the content recorded in step S102, as a feasible implementation scheme, the resistive device includes a soldering portion (pad) of the MOS device under test and a fuse device (fuse).

[0077] For example, in this solution, the first resistor R1 includes two parts, namely the welding part resistor R s and fuse resistance R f (R1=R s +R f ), where R can be determined according to the corresponding parameter manual s and R f The resistance value at ambient temperature is used to determine the third resistor R3 (the temperature rise coefficients of the resistive components of the welding portion and the fuse component are the same).

[0078] Figure 2 This is another flow chart of a method for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device in an embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As an implementable solution, the method for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device can also be:

[0079] S201. Obtain a first temperature of the MOS device under test when it is operating stably.

[0080] S202. Acquire the ambient temperature, and acquire a first resistance value of a resistive device connected to the MOS device under test at the ambient temperature.

[0081] S203 . Obtain an on-resistance-temperature curve of the MOS device under test, and determine a second resistance value of the MOS device under test at the first temperature based on the on-resistance-temperature curve.

[0082] Illustratively, in this solution, the implementation of steps S201 to S203 is the same as the corresponding contents recorded in steps S101 to S103.

[0083] S204. Obtain a test current of the MOS device under test, and determine a test power using the test current, the first resistance value, and the second resistance value.

[0084] Exemplarily, in this solution, the test power is determined by the following formula:

[0085]

[0086] Where, P represents the test power, I c Represents the test current, R1 represents the first resistor, and R2 represents the second resistor.

[0087] S205 . Determine the thermal resistance of the MOS device under test according to the test power, the first temperature, and the ambient temperature.

[0088] For example, in this solution, the thermal resistance is determined by the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] Where R th represents thermal resistance, P represents test power, T1 represents the first temperature, T c Indicates the ambient temperature.

[0091] Compared to Figure 1 In the scheme shown, the first resistor, the second resistor, the first temperature and the ambient temperature are used to determine the thermal resistance of the MOS device under test. The third resistor is replaced by the first resistor, and the determination process of the third resistor is omitted, thereby simplifying the determination process of the thermal resistance. However, the accuracy of the thermal resistance is correspondingly reduced.

[0092] Example 2

[0093] This embodiment provides a method for determining the temperature rise of a BMS switch circuit. The method includes determining the thermal resistance of a single MOS device in the BMS switch circuit, and determining the steady-state temperature of the MOS device at a specified current after operating for a specified time based on the thermal resistance of the single MOS device.

[0094] The temperature rise of the BMS switch circuit is determined based on the difference between the temperature of the MOS device when it is not conducting and the steady-state temperature.

[0095] In this embodiment, any one of the methods for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device described in the first embodiment may be used to determine the thermal resistance of a single MOS device.

[0096] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of the method for determining the temperature rise of the BMS switch circuit in the embodiment, refer to Figure 3 ,by Figure 1 Taking the method for determining the thermal resistance of a MOS device shown in the figure as an example, the method for determining the temperature rise of a BMS switch circuit includes:

[0097] S301. Obtain a first temperature of a single MOS device when it is operating stably.

[0098] S302. Acquire the ambient temperature, and acquire a first resistance value of a resistive device connected to a single MOS device at the ambient temperature.

[0099] S303. Obtain an on-resistance-temperature curve of a single MOS device, and determine a second resistance value of the single MOS device at the first temperature through the on-resistance-temperature curve.

[0100] S304. Using the first temperature and the ambient temperature, determine the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive device through the on-resistance-temperature curve

[0101] S305. Determine a third resistance value of the resistive component at the first temperature based on the first resistance value and the temperature rise coefficient of the resistive component.

[0102] For example, in this embodiment, steps S301 to S305 are Figure 1 The corresponding contents in the shown schemes are the same.

[0103] S306. Obtain an operating current and a current calculation model, and determine a test current of a single MOS device using the current calculation model according to the operating current.

[0104] S307. Determine the test power using the test current, the second resistance value, and the third resistance value.

[0105] Exemplarily, in combination with step S306 and step S307, in this solution, the operating current is the operating current of the BMS switch circuit.

[0106] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the current calculation model may be determined empirically or according to a calibration test based on the design of the BMS switch circuit.

[0107] For example, in this embodiment, the test current may be determined by the following current calculation model:

[0108] I c =f(I)

[0109] Where, I cIndicates the test current and I indicates the working current.

[0110] For example, in one possible implementation, the current calculation model may be determined according to a combination of MOS devices in a BMS switch circuit, wherein the combination of MOS devices includes at least series and parallel connection of MOS devices.

[0111] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the BMS switch circuit in the embodiment, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The BMS switch circuit shown includes two groups of MOS devices, where the five MOS devices in each group are connected in parallel. In this case, if the operating current is selected as the current passing through one group of MOS devices, the test current can be calculated using the following formula:

[0112]

[0113] Accordingly, the test power can be determined by the following formula:

[0114]

[0115] I c represents the test current, R2 represents the second resistor, R3 represents the third resistor, and N represents the number of parallel MOS tubes used, that is, N is 5.

[0116] S308 . Determine the thermal resistance of a single MOS device by testing the power, the first temperature, and the ambient temperature.

[0117] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the implementation of step S308 is the same as that of step S107.

[0118] S309 . Determine the temperature rise of the BMS switch circuit based on the thermal resistance of the single MOS device.

[0119] For example, in this embodiment, the steady-state temperature of a single MOS device after operating for a specified time at a specified current is determined by the following formula:

[0120]

[0121] Where T represents the steady-state temperature, I1 represents the specified current, R represents the on-resistance of the MOS device under test (minimum drain-source nominal current, on-resistance at ambient temperature), and R th Indicates thermal resistance.

[0122] Exemplarily, in this step, the designated current I1 is related to the operating current of the selected BMS switch circuit. After the operating current of the BMS switch circuit is determined, the designated current I1 can be determined by a current calculation model.

[0123] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the temperature rise of the BMS switch circuit is determined by the following formula:

[0124] ΔT=T-T0

[0125] In the above formula, ΔT is the temperature rise, T is the steady-state temperature, and T0 is the temperature when the BMS switch circuit is not powered.

[0126] The beneficial effects of the method for determining the temperature rise of the BMS switch circuit proposed in this embodiment are the same as the beneficial effects of the method for determining the thermal resistance of the MOS device described in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
