Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power device detection, and in particular is a silicon carbide power device detection method with self-detection of hot spots. Background Art

[0002] Silicon carbide power devices have shown great potential in high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-power applications in electric vehicles, smart grids, and renewable energy systems due to their excellent properties of high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity, and low dielectric constant. However, in actual applications, silicon carbide power devices may produce local hot spots under high-intensity working conditions. If these hot spots cannot be detected and handled in time, they will seriously affect the performance and life of the device, and even cause the failure of the entire system.

[0003] Existing detection methods mostly focus on static electrical performance, dynamic switching characteristics and overall reliability testing, while there are few direct detection methods for hot spots inside devices. The operations are complex and costly, making it difficult to detect hot spots inside devices in real time and accurately. At the same time, it is impossible to promptly warn and prevent potential failures.

[0004] For example, the patent with the authorization announcement number CN107179494B discloses a method and system for detecting faults of components on a universal circuit board, including: by collecting visible light images and infrared thermal images of the circuit board under test, firstly using the image registration algorithm to calibrate the infrared thermal image coordinate system with the visible light image as the reference, then using the power device packaging database as the template image, searching the visible light image of the circuit board under test, determining the position coordinates and area size of the power device on the circuit board under test, and then processing the infrared thermal image of the circuit board under test with the black body as the background to calibrate the infrared thermal image, extracting the temperature, position coordinates and area size of the hot spot in the infrared thermal image; finally, judging and locating the faulty component through analysis and matching. This technical solution does not require the prior collection of infrared thermal images of circuit boards of the same type and model that are working normally, and can be used not only for factory mass production, but also for various application occasions such as equipment maintenance.

[0005] For example, the patent with publication number CN112180227A discloses a non-contact online detection system and method for junction temperature of silicon carbide power devices, including: controlling the silicon carbide power device to work at a set operating temperature through a temperature control unit, controlling the silicon carbide power device to work through a driving unit, so that current flows through the parasitic body diode of the silicon carbide power device to generate electroluminescence; detecting and obtaining the operating temperature, conduction current and luminous intensity of the silicon carbide power device, and establishing a function model; and detecting and calculating the working junction temperature of the silicon carbide power device according to the function model. This technical solution derives the junction temperature by detecting the luminous intensity of the impurity or defect energy level of the silicon carbide power device, realizes non-contact measurement, has the characteristics of inherent electrical isolation, and is particularly suitable for online junction temperature detection of silicon carbide power devices working in high temperature, high pressure and large current applications, with high accuracy and real-time performance.

[0006] The above existing technologies all have the following problems: CN107179494B mainly relies on image registration and template matching technology to identify and locate faults. Although this method is highly versatile, its accuracy and depth may not be as good as those based on temperature-sensitive components and deep learning algorithms when dealing with complex or subtle faults. In addition, it may take a long time and high computing resources to process images and match templates, especially when dealing with high-resolution images and complex circuit boards; CN112180227A mainly relies on the electroluminescence phenomenon of silicon carbide power devices to derive junction temperature. Although this method is non-contact and has electrical isolation characteristics, it requires the device to have sufficient electroluminescence effect and is not suitable for all types of silicon carbide power devices, especially those with weak luminescence effects. At the same time, its measurement accuracy may be affected by many factors, such as the luminous efficiency, spectral distribution, ambient temperature and sensitivity of the detection equipment of the device. In addition, the relationship between luminous intensity and junction temperature may be affected by device aging, material defects or process changes, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy and a lack of comprehensive assessment of the overall status and potential risks of the device.
