Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to an intelligent measurement device and method for the dynamic on-resistance of a power semiconductor switch tube. Background Art
[0002] With the development of power semiconductor technology, power field effect transistors, as core components of power electronics technology, are increasingly widely used and are closely related to people's daily lives. At present, power field effect transistor devices are mainly Si-based devices, but due to the limitations of the switching speed and efficiency of Si-based power transistors, Si-based power transistors can no longer meet the needs of increased operating frequency, increased power density, and improved power conversion efficiency. Compared with Si-based devices, the third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor power devices (GaN devices and SiC devices) have the advantages of high withstand voltage, low on-resistance, and fast switching speed. They can meet the needs of increased operating frequency, increased power density, and improved power conversion efficiency, and are widely used in high voltage, medium and large power, and high switching frequency applications.
[0003] However, due to the characteristics of the materials used to prepare power field effect transistors, the dynamic characteristics of GaN and SiC field effect transistors have poor stability. Specifically, after the GaN field effect transistor is subjected to off-state drain voltage stress for a period of time, the device's on-resistance and threshold voltage and other characteristics will change. This instability of the device will affect the stability and safety of the circuit system, and in severe cases, the circuit system will not work properly. Therefore, in order to ensure the qualification and reliability of power field effect transistors, it is necessary to conduct strict and comprehensive testing and characterization of the dynamic on-resistance of power field effect transistors.
[0004] However, in the existing testing devices and methods, such as the document with application number CN202310239773.4, a method and device for characterizing the dynamic on-resistance of a power semiconductor field effect transistor is provided. After applying different drain voltages to the power field effect transistor, the on-resistance of the device is measured. However, the measurement method of this scheme does not solve the problem of measurement delay. There is a time lag in the process from when the device is subjected to drain voltage stress to when the dynamic on-resistance of the device is measured. It is impossible to avoid the problem of inaccurate on-resistance measurement results caused by defect recovery of the device within a period of time after the device stops working. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent measurement device and method for the dynamic on-resistance of a power semiconductor switch tube to partially solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

Through the freewheeling function of the load inductor L1, during the long drain voltage stress application time, the current at both ends of the source and drain of the power device DUT to be tested when the on-resistance measurement phase is started starts to rise from a certain value that is not zero, thereby improving the on-resistance measurement accuracy.
[0158] In one embodiment, a long-term multi-pulse on-resistance measurement is performed on the power device DUT, specifically, including a drain voltage stress application stage and a dynamic on-resistance measurement stage, such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of the electrical parameter waveform corresponding to the measurement method is a multi-pulse measurement method; a drain voltage stress is applied to the power device DUT under test in the time interval between the first turn-on pulse and the second turn-on pulse, and in the subsequent turn-on pulse, the two stages of stress application and dynamic on-resistance measurement are performed cyclically; specifically, as Figure 5 As shown, VGS_Q1 is the driving voltage signal of the switching transistor Q1, VGS_DUT is the driving voltage signal of the transistor to be tested DUT, VDS_DUT is the voltage across the source and drain of the transistor to be tested DUT, IDS_DUT is the current flowing through the drain and source of the transistor to be tested DUT, and I L1 is the current flowing through the load inductor L1;
[0159] Specifically, before time t2, the switch transistor Q1 remains on, and the load resistor R1 is not connected to the loop. After time t2, the switch transistor Q1 remains off, and the load resistor R1 is connected to the loop. Time t0 to t1 is the first pulse opening time of the power device DUT to be tested, and the load inductor L1 is current limiting. The current IDS_DUT and I L1 starts to rise from 0, and the load inductor L1 stores energy; from t1 to t2, it is the drain voltage stress application stage of the power device DUT to be tested. At this time, the diode D1 is freewheeling, and the freewheeling circuit has no load to consume energy. The current can remain stable for a long time, and a long-term drain voltage stress is applied; from t2 to t3, it is the second pulse start time of the power device DUT to be tested, which is the on-resistance measurement stage. The current IDS_DUT flowing through the power device DUT to be tested starts to rise from the inductor current value at t2, and the clamping circuit samples the on-voltage drop across the source and drain of the power device DUT to be tested, and the on-resistance value of the power device DUT to be tested is calculated; at t3, the transistor DUT is turned off, and at t4, the switching transistor Q1 is turned on, so that the load resistor is not connected to the freewheeling circuit, the inductor current is maintained stable, and the drain voltage stress time t4 to t5 is extended; at t5, the DUT is turned on and the on-resistance is measured; the subsequent cycles are the stress application stage and the on-resistance measurement stage, and the dynamic on-resistance is observed and monitored for a long time.
[0160] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: in the long-term dynamic on-resistance measurement process of multiple pulses, the duty cycle of the voltage stress application time can be regulated, and the drain voltage stress application time and the switch duty cycle of the device can be changed while ensuring low measurement delay, so as to simulate the dynamic characteristics of the DUT under different working conditions, and provide a stress condition that is more in line with the actual working environment for the characterization of the dynamic characteristics mechanism of the device. After the drain voltage stress application phase of the power device DUT to be tested is completed, the on-resistance measurement phase of the power device DUT to be tested is immediately entered to reduce the measurement delay; and the load resistor R1 is controlled to be connected to the loop through the selective conduction and shutdown of the switching transistor Q1, and the freewheeling function of the load inductor L1 is used to control the current flowing through the DUT, thereby improving the measurement accuracy and reducing the measurement delay; in the long-term multi-pulse measurement process, the loop current is maintained stable by controlling whether the load resistor is connected; the load resistor is not connected to the loop to extend the voltage stress application time, and in the long During the drain voltage stress application phase, the current is maintained stable and the measurement delay of the on-resistance is reduced. During the device startup phase, the load resistor is connected to limit the current and consume energy to avoid the inductor current running away, maintain system stability, and adjust the duty cycle of the DUT so that the source and drain currents of the power device DUT under test are kept at a stable non-zero value when it is turned on, thereby reducing the measurement delay of the on-resistance and improving the measurement accuracy of the dynamic on-resistance. Multi-pulse long-term observation of the dynamic on-resistance of the power device DUT under test is helpful to analyze and monitor the dynamic stability of the power device under test.
