Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of SiC device testing, and in particular, to a test circuit for a semiconductor device and a method for testing a silicon carbide device using the test circuit for any semiconductor device. Background Art
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) devices are transistors made from SiC semiconductor materials. Compared with traditional silicon (Si) devices, SiC devices have the advantages of high voltage resistance, high temperature resistance, fast switching speed and low on-resistance, and can be widely used in railway traction converters, photovoltaic inverters, wind power generation equipment and electric vehicle drive systems. In practical applications, SiC devices will be subjected to the dual stress of electricity and heat caused by complex working conditions such as surge, radiation or electrostatic damage. The reliability of the device will gradually decrease over time, and the macroscopic manifestation is the degradation of the parameters characterizing the device performance, such as increased on-resistance, reduced breakdown voltage, increased leakage and threshold voltage drift.
[0003] At present, the traditional high-temperature reverse bias test first accelerates the aging of SiC devices under different voltage bias and temperature stress conditions. After a period of testing, the device is removed from the test fixture and the various performance characterization parameters of the device are retested offline. In order to accurately grasp the performance degradation law of the device during the electrothermal aging process, multiple retests are required. Repeated plugging and unplugging may cause mechanical damage to the device, which to a certain extent complicates the test steps and reduces the test efficiency. At the same time, for SiC devices, the changes in various performance parameters are closely related to the migration of mobile ions and carrier trapping and detrapping. After the electrothermal stress ends, the parameters that have changed will recover at an exponential rate, and the test time interval has a great influence on the test results. Therefore, the traditional offline test method cannot quickly and accurately test the various performance parameters of SiC devices during the aging process. Summary of the invention
