Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a device and method for characterizing on-resistance of a field effect transistor with multi-stress regulation. Background Art

[0002] At present, field effect transistor devices are mainly Si-based high-frequency field effect transistor devices, but Si-based high-frequency field effect transistors can no longer meet the needs of increased operating frequency, increased power density, and improved power conversion efficiency. Compared with Si-based high-frequency field effect transistor devices, third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor power devices (GaN devices and SiC devices) with high withstand voltage, low on-resistance, and high switching speed can meet the above needs and are widely used in high-voltage, medium-to-high-power, and high-switching-frequency applications. However, due to the limitations of the third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor power device preparation process technology, the dynamic characteristics stability and reliability of GaN and SiC field effect transistors are currently poor. Specifically, after the GaN field effect transistor is subjected to electrical stress for a period of time, the on-resistance and threshold voltage of the device will change. This dynamic characteristic change of the device will affect the stability and safety of the circuit system operation, reduce the power efficiency, and in severe cases, make the circuit system unable to work normally. In order to ensure the qualification and reliability of the power field effect transistor, it is necessary to conduct a multi-dimensional and comprehensive test characterization of the dynamic on-resistance of the power field effect transistor.

[0003] However, in the existing testing devices and methods, it is impossible to strictly control the electrical stress of the device under test, and different types of electrical stress are not separated and studied separately. Mixed electrical stress will produce different action mechanisms on the device under test, and it is impossible to study a single physical mechanism, making it impossible to conduct in-depth research on the physical mechanism of the dynamic on-resistance change of the device under test. For example, hard switching stress is a mixed type of electrical stress, which is a combination of off-state drain voltage stress and semi-on-state stress. The physical mechanisms of off-state drain voltage stress and semi-on-state stress on the change of dynamic on-resistance of the device under test are different. Therefore, in order to deeply study the physical mechanism of a specific dynamic on-resistance change, it is necessary to split the mixed type of electrical stress into independent electrical stresses, and then study a single physical mechanism, and study the influence of a single electrical stress on the dynamic on-resistance of power semiconductor field effect transistors. It can also achieve real-time observation of the entire process from one hundred nanoseconds after the electrical stress is removed to the recovery of on-resistance, and then deeply study a single physical mechanism of dynamic on-resistance, so that the characterization and research of the dynamic on-resistance of power semiconductor field effect transistors is more accurate and comprehensive, which is helpful for in-depth research on the physical mechanism affecting the dynamic on-resistance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a field effect transistor on-resistance characterization device and method with multi-stress regulation. Summary of the invention

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes monitoring and controlling the process of applying electrical stress to the field effect transistor DUT by using a set monitoring control circuit, specifically including:

[0028] Build a monitoring and control circuit module connected to the multi-stress dynamic characteristic characterization circuit module; the monitoring and control circuit module includes a monitoring component and a control component; the monitoring component is connected to the control component; the control component is connected to the drive signal control circuit;

[0076] Specifically include:

[0077] Apply hard switching stress to the field effect transistor DUT, such as Figure 5As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the control waveform of the hard switch stress and the current and voltage waveform of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested; before time t0, the switch transistor S1 is also kept off, the transistor S1 is subjected to high voltage, and the drain of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is not subjected to high voltage, eliminating the influence of prestress; at time t0, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on, and at time t1, the switch transistor S1 is turned on, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested begins to rise, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is soft-turned on; the switch transistor S1 remains on, and at time t2, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned off, the drain voltage VDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT decreases, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is hard-turned off; because the switch transistor S1 remains on, the high voltage Vin is added to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested. The drain of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to the off-state drain voltage stress; the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on at time t4, the drain voltage VDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested decreases, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT rises rapidly under the freewheeling action of the load inductor L, and the current flowing through the field effect transistor DUT to be tested in the turn-on transient state is not zero, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is hard turned on; the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned off at time t6, the source voltage VDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested increases, the source-drain current IDS_DUT decreases, and the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is hard turned off. Because S1 remains in the on state, the high voltage Vin is added to the drain of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, and the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to the off-state drain voltage stress; the subsequent control process is the same;

[0078] Apply off-state drain voltage stress to the field effect transistor DUT, such as Figure 6As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the control waveform of the off-state drain voltage stress and the current and voltage waveform of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested; before time t0, the switch transistor S1 is kept off, the high voltage Vin is borne by the switch transistor S1, the drain of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested does not bear the high voltage, and the drain voltage VDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is in a low voltage state. At time t0, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on. At this time, because the switch transistor S1 is in the off state, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested has no conduction current; at time t1, the switch transistor S1 is turned on, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT of the field effect transistor to be tested begins to rise, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is soft-turned on; at time t2, the switch transistor S1 is turned off, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT of the field effect transistor to be tested decreases; before time t3, the source-drain current IDS_DUT of the field effect transistor to be tested has reached 0A, at t3, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned off, and the drain voltage VDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is in a low voltage state throughout the whole process, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is softly turned off, at t4, the switch transistor S1 is turned on to make the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rise, and at this time, the off-state drain voltage stress is applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested; when the field effect transistor DUT to be tested needs to be turned on again, at t5, the switch transistor S1 is turned off, and the switch transistor S2 is turned on, so that the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested drops to zero, that is, at t6, and then the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on, and the switch transistor S2 is turned off. At t7, the switch transistor S1 is turned on, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises rapidly under the action of the load inductance L, and the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is softly turned on in the stage from t5 to t7;

[0079] Apply half-on stress to the field effect transistor DUT, such as Figure 7As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the control waveform of the semi-on stress and the current and voltage waveform of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested; before t0, the switch transistor S1 is kept off, the high voltage Vin is borne by the switch transistor S1, the drain of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested does not bear the high voltage, and the drain voltage VDS_DUT of the field effect transistor to be tested is kept in a low voltage state to avoid the influence of the off-state drain voltage stress after the circuit is powered on. At t0, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on. At this time, the switch transistor S1 is in the off state, and the field effect transistor DUT to be tested has no conduction current. At t1, the switch transistor S1 is turned on to make the field effect transistor DUT to be tested soft-on, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested begins to rise; at t2, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned off. At this time, the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises, and the source-drain current IDS_DUT decreases. When the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises to the high voltage, that is, at t3, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on again. UT, the drain voltage drops, and under the freewheeling effect of the load inductor L, the source-drain current IDS_DUT rises. The time from t2 to t3 is reasonably controlled to ensure that the device is in a switching state, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to semi-open state stress; after the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on, due to the freewheeling effect of the load inductor L, IDS_DUT rises rapidly from t3 to t4, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to semi-open state stress; in the conduction stage, the current of the load inductor L continues to Rise; at t5, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned off, at this time the drain voltage rises, and the current drops. When the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises to a high voltage, that is, at t6, the switching transistor S1 is turned off, and the switching transistor S2 is turned on, so that the charge stored in the drain-source electrode of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is released through the resistor R1 and the channel of the switching transistor S2, and the drain voltage VDS_DUT drops back to a low voltage and remains in a low voltage state, thereby shielding the influence of the off-state drain voltage stress; the subsequent control process is the same.

[0080] The working principle of the above technical solution is: in order to realize the application of electrical stress to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, the present invention controls the conduction and shutdown of the switch transistor S1 and the switch transistor S2 to regulate the electrical stress of the power field effect transistor DUT to be tested, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to a variety of different electrical stresses or is not subjected to electrical stress; the electrical stress includes hard switch stress, off-state drain voltage stress and half-on-state stress; specifically includes:

[0081] Apply hard switching stress to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, specifically: first keep the switch transistor S1 off, then turn on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, and then turn on the switch transistor S1 to make the field effect transistor DUT to be tested soft-turn on; keep the switch transistor S1 on, then turn off the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is hard-turned off; reasonably control the time interval, turn on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, and under the freewheeling action of the load inductor L, the current that flows through the field effect transistor DUT to be tested in the transient state is not zero, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is hard-turned on; through the above control, the influence of the pre-stress after the circuit is powered on can be eliminated, and the controllable hard switching stress can be applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested separately, eliminating the influence of the off-state drain voltage stress and the half-open state stress, and the influence of the hard switching stress on the dynamic on-resistance of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested can be explored separately;

[0082] The off-state drain voltage stress is applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, specifically: first keep the switch transistor S1 off, then turn on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, and then turn on the switch transistor S1 to make the field effect transistor DUT to be tested soft-on; then turn off the switch transistor S1 first, then turn off the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is soft-off, and then turn on the switch transistor S1 to make the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rise, at this time, the off-state drain voltage stress is applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested; when the field effect transistor DUT to be tested needs to be turned on again, turn off the switch transistor S1 first, turn on The switch transistor S2 is used to make the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested drop to zero, and then the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on, the switch transistor S2 is turned off, and then the switch transistor S1 is turned on to make the field effect transistor DUT to be tested soft-turn on; through the above control, the influence of the pre-stress after the circuit is powered on on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested can be eliminated, and the controllable off-state drain voltage stress can be applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested separately, and the time of the off-state drain voltage stress can be accurately controlled, and the influence of hard switching stress and half-open stress can be eliminated, and the influence of the off-state drain voltage stress on the dynamic on-resistance of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested can be explored separately;

[0083] A semi-on stress is applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, specifically: first keep the switch transistor S1 off, then turn on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, and then turn on the switch transistor S1 to make the field effect transistor DUT to be tested soft-on, and the current rises; then turn off the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, at this time the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises, and the current drops, and the time interval is reasonably controlled. When the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises to a high voltage, turn on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested again, the drain voltage drops, and under the freewheeling effect of the load inductor L, the current rises rapidly, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to the semi-on stress; when it is necessary to turn off the field effect transistor DUT to be tested, the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned on again, and the drain voltage drops. Under the freewheeling effect of the load inductor L, the current rises rapidly, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is subjected to the semi-on stress; When the transistor DUT is tested, the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is turned off first. At this time, the drain voltage rises and the current drops. The time interval is reasonably controlled. When the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested rises to a high voltage, the switching transistor S1 is turned off and the switching transistor S2 is turned on to make the drain voltage of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested drop and remain in a low voltage state. Through the above control strategy, the influence of the pre-stress after the circuit is powered on on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested can be eliminated, and controllable half-open state stress can be applied to the field effect transistor DUT to be tested separately, eliminating the influence of hard switching stress and off-state drain voltage stress, and the influence of the half-open state stress on the dynamic on-resistance of the field effect transistor DUT to be tested can be explored separately.

[0087] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by adopting the solution provided in this embodiment, through the above control strategy, the influence of electrical stress on the field effect transistor DUT to be tested can be eliminated, so that the field effect transistor DUT to be tested is in a dynamic characteristic recovery state, avoiding the problem of heating caused by the device to be tested being turned on for a long time; and combined with the application control of the above three electrical stresses, real-time observation of the entire process from one hundred nanoseconds after the electrical stress is removed to the recovery of the on-resistance can be achieved, thereby deeply studying the physical mechanism behind the dynamic on-resistance recovery phenomenon.
