Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor device temperature detection, in particular to a surface temperature detection method for a chip-level GaAs power device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Power devices are widely used in various electronic equipment, and their performance (such as on-resistance, current capacity, switching speed, etc.) and operating environment (such as working temperature, voltage, maximum current, etc.) are important factors to determine their final function and efficiency. Since semiconductor power devices generate a large amount of heat during operation, good thermal design and thermal management are needed to ensure normal and stable operation and improve their service life.

[0003] Among them, GaAs semiconductor has high electron mobility and saturated electron flow speed, so that the chip-level GaAs power device is superior to many other types of semiconductor power devices, such as silicon semiconductor power devices, in terms of operating speed and frequency. Although the working performance of GaAs power devices is excellent, the demand for energy conversion will cause more heat generation, so accurate temperature detection is needed to provide data support for the thermal management of power devices.

[0004] On the one hand, using a thermocouple to measure the surface temperature of a semiconductor power device is one of the commonly used temperature measurement methods. However, since the thermocouple is a contact type detection method, this method is prone to cause large detection errors. At the same time, the thermocouple measures the single-point temperature of the device surface, and its fixed method and position as well as the environmental temperature will all affect the measurement accuracy, so the use of a thermocouple to measure the temperature of a semiconductor power device needs to be calibrated with high precision to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0005] On the other hand, an infrared thermal imager can determine the surface temperature of an object by capturing infrared photons emitted or reflected by a power device without the need for contact. The advantage of the thermal imager is that it can accurately measure the surface temperature of the power device and obtain the overall temperature distribution of the power device. This has high value for understanding the thermal behavior of the device, determining possible thermal problem areas, and evaluating heat dissipation designs. However, the infrared thermal imager is expensive, making this method not widely applicable to practical testing scenarios that require continuous detection of a large number of power devices.

[0053] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. It should be noted that the relationship terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or sequence between the entities or operations.

[0054] Referring to Figure 1 The present application provides a surface temperature detection method of a chip-level GaAs power device, comprising the steps of:

[0055] S1, acquiring a device surface temperature image in a working state, and identifying a plurality of virtual heat source points of the device according to the surface temperature image; specifically, the surface temperature image is acquired by an infrared thermal imager.

[0056] S2, arranging a plurality of thermocouples on the device surface, the thermocouples being used to collect temperatures of the virtual heat source points; the number of the thermocouples is the same as the number of the virtual heat source points.

[0057] S3, acquiring temperature images of the device surface under different environmental temperatures, calculating first test temperatures of the virtual heat source points according to the temperature images, and simultaneously acquiring second test temperatures of the virtual heat source points by the thermocouples; wherein the different environmental temperatures are specifically a plurality of arithmetic sequences in a standard working environmental temperature range; the environmental temperatures are acquired by a temperature sensor integrated with the power device.

[0058] S4, calculating a test temperature difference value according to the first test temperature and the second test temperature, calculating an ambient surface temperature difference value according to the second test temperature and the ambient temperature, and fitting a temperature compensation model of each virtual heat source point according to the ambient surface temperature difference value and the test temperature difference value;

[0059] S5, acquiring the ambient temperature and the working temperature data of the virtual heat source point in real time, and correcting the working temperature data according to the ambient temperature and the temperature compensation model.

[0060] Specifically, the temperature compensation value is expressed as:

[0061] T i,com = T i,1 -T i,2 ,

[0062] wherein i is a positive integer, representing the serial number of the virtual heat source point; T i,com is the temperature compensation value of the i-th virtual heat source point, T i,1 is the first test temperature of the i-th virtual heat source point, and T i,2 is the second test temperature of the i-th virtual heat source point.

[0063] Specifically, the ambient surface temperature difference value is expressed as:

[0064] T i,def = T i,2 -T s ,

[0065] wherein T i,def represents the ambient surface temperature difference value of the i-th virtual heat source point, and T s represents the ambient temperature. It can be understood that the test temperature difference value between the surface temperature of the power device and its surrounding environment directly affects the heat dissipation speed of the object, therefore, by fitting the temperature compensation model according to the ambient surface temperature difference value and the test temperature difference value, the heat dissipation condition of the heat source can be accurately reflected, so that the actual temperature of the virtual heat source point of the device can be more accurately predicted through the temperature compensation model.

[0066] When a power device is in operation, it may contain heat sources of varying degrees. Existing technologies typically use a single thermocouple to detect the surface temperature of the device, obtaining only a single-point temperature on the device surface and failing to capture the real-time temperature of specific high-temperature points. This application uses thermocouples to detect the temperature of each virtual heat source point to obtain a high-precision second test temperature. Especially for devices requiring long-term continuous operation, this provides a data foundation for simulating and predicting the thermal behavior of chips under varying operating conditions, thereby enabling early detection of potential faults and the implementation of necessary heat dissipation or protection measures. Furthermore, this application uses a thermal imager to acquire a first temperature image. Based on the difference between the first and second test temperatures, it calculates the test temperature difference and combines it with the ambient temperature factor to fit a temperature compensation model, thereby performing high-precision correction on the second test temperature corresponding to each virtual heat source point acquired by the thermocouple. After correction, the operating temperature data acquired by the thermocouple can be compensated in real-time using the acquired ambient temperature and the temperature compensation model, further achieving higher-precision device surface temperature detection.

[0067] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The step of identifying several virtual heat source points based on surface temperature image recognition devices specifically includes the following steps:

[0068] S11. Convert the surface temperature image from a color image to a grayscale image. Grayscale images only contain information about grayscale changes, making them simpler to process than color images.

[0069] S12. Set a reference temperature and draw several closed isotherms in the grayscale image based on the grayscale value corresponding to the reference temperature.

[0070] S13. The point with the lowest gray value within the closed isotherm is recorded as the virtual heat source point; where the point with the lowest gray value is the point with the highest temperature in the region.

[0071] Specifically, the reference temperature is calculated using the standard maximum junction temperature and standard thermal resistance; the reference temperature is expressed as:

[0072] T ref =k(T) j,max -P×R jc ),

[0073] Among them, T j,max R is the standard maximum junction temperature. jc The standard thermal resistance is the highest junction temperature and standard thermal resistance provided in the product datasheet; P is the operating power of the device; k is the proportional control factor. Reference temperature T refThe reference temperature is a monitoring index set by the embodiment, and a position exceeding the reference temperature is regarded as a possible heat source. The proportional adjustment coefficient k is used to fine-tune the reference temperature in the embodiment. The setting of the proportional adjustment coefficient k affects the detection accuracy of the temperature and the search speed of the heat source, and the specific value can be set according to the prior knowledge of the technician and experimental feedback. In an embodiment, the value range is [0.5, 0.8].

[0074] It can be understood that the virtual heat source point searched in the embodiment is not necessarily the real heat source point corresponding to the working chip; for example, when two working chips are included in an isotherm, and both of the working chips are real heat source points, the virtual heat source point searched through step S13 may be one of the two real heat source points, or a point on the line connecting the two real heat source points. The specific position of the virtual heat source point is determined by the structure of the power device and the performance of the working chip. Therefore, in the embodiment, the smaller the coefficient k is, the farther the temperature corresponding to the drawn isotherm is from the maximum junction temperature, and thus the real heat source point with a lower temperature in the device can be more accurately included in the isotherm. However, a smaller value of the proportional adjustment coefficient k also increases the area for searching the virtual heat source point, which may result in the problem that more than one real heat source point is included in the isotherm, and thus the accuracy of the test result is reduced when the performance of one of the real heat source points deviates from the standard. To solve this problem, as a preferred embodiment, the identifying a plurality of virtual heat source points of the device according to the surface temperature image further includes the step of:

[0075] S14, identifying a real heat source point in each closed isotherm according to a temperature distribution gradient feature; when the virtual heat source point does not coincide with the real heat source point and the virtual heat source point is on the line connecting the first real heat source point and the second real heat source point, deleting the set virtual heat source point and setting the first real heat source point and the second real heat source point as the virtual heat source points, respectively.

[0076] The first real heat source point is the point with the lowest gray value among the real heat source points of the closed isotherm, and the second real heat source point is the point with the second lowest gray value among the real heat source points of the closed isotherm. The temperature distribution gradient represents the rate of change of the temperature in space. The temperature distribution gradient is obtained by calculating the temperature difference between each point and its surrounding points. The values of these temperature gradients are sorted, and the point with the maximum temperature gradient value (i.e., the most dramatic change in temperature) is selected as the real heat source point.

[0077] Further, before converting the surface temperature image from a color image to a grayscale image in the step S11, the method further comprises the step of: performing histogram equalization on the surface temperature image to obtain a surface temperature image with optimized brightness and contrast. The histogram is a statistical distribution of the gray levels of each pixel in the image. The histogram equalization is a method for enhancing the contrast of an image by stretching the histogram to make it more uniform, so that the brightness levels of the image are smoother.

[0078] Further, before converting the surface temperature image from a color image to a grayscale image in the step S11, the method further comprises the step of: performing median filtering on the surface temperature image. Specifically, first, the size of the filtering window is selected, and then each pixel in the image is iterated in turn, and all pixel values in the filtering window are sorted, and the median value is taken as the new value of the pixel. The new value of the pixel is denoted as:

[0079] P(x, y) = median{Q(x + i, y + j) | i, j ∈ W},

[0080] where P(x, y) represents the new value of the pixel, x and y represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the pixel, respectively, Q(x + i, y + j) represents the value of the neighborhood around the corresponding pixel in the original image, W represents the filtering window, i and j are parameters that cycle within the filtering window, and median{} represents the operation of taking the median of the pixel values in the neighborhood.

[0081] In this embodiment, histogram equalization and median filtering are performed on the surface temperature image before converting the surface temperature image from a color image to a grayscale image. The histogram equalization is used for image enhancement. In many cases, due to problems such as lighting and reflection, the dynamic range of the image can be limited, resulting in an image that is too dark or too bright. In this case, the histogram equalization can expand the dynamic range of the image and enhance the contrast of the image, making the detailed information in the image more obvious. At the same time, the histogram equalization can also make the brightness distribution of the image more uniform. The median filtering can effectively remove some random and isolated noise, such as salt and pepper noise. At the same time, compared with the average filter, the median filtering can better protect the edge information of the image while removing noise, avoiding excessive blurring of the image during the noise removal process.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application corrects the virtual heat source point on the line connecting the first real heat source point and the second real heat source point by identifying the real heat source point, so that the obtained virtual heat source point can accurately correspond to the first real heat source point and the second real heat source point in the closed isotherm, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature calculation, and only needs to calculate according to the obtained working temperature data, without the need to understand the specific physical properties or structure of the device, so the application cost is low and the range is wide. It should be noted that, since the multiple points in the closed isotherm have a greater influence on the virtual heat source point, the performance of one real heat source point deviates from the standard, and the influence on the test result is relatively smaller, and setting too many thermocouples in a closed isotherm will increase the real-time cost, therefore, when the virtual heat source point does not coincide with the real heat source point but the virtual heat source point is not on the line connecting the first real heat source point and the second real heat source point, the step S14 does not process the virtual heat source point for the comprehensive consideration between the detection accuracy and the cost of thermocouples.

[0083] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , the temperature compensation model of each virtual heat source point is fitted according to the environmental surface temperature difference and the test temperature difference, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0084] Divide the environmental surface temperature difference and the test temperature difference data into a training set and a test set;

[0085] Obtain the temperature compensation model by fitting the training set data by the least square method; the temperature compensation model is an electrical parameter analysis model;

[0086] Test the temperature compensation model using the test set data, and use the mean square error index to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model;

[0087] Draw an error curve of the temperature compensation model, identify the overfitting or underfitting phenomenon in the training process of the temperature compensation model through the error curve, and optimize the temperature compensation model by increasing or decreasing the number of polynomials or the regularization method.

[0088] The error curve is used to represent the distribution of training error and validation error with the change of iteration number. If the training error and the validation error are both in the state of convergence and the gap between them is small, it means that the temperature compensation model is in a relatively optimal state; if the training error and the validation error are both in the state of convergence but the gap between them is large, it is judged that the temperature compensation model is overfitting; if the convergence degree of the training error and the validation error is low, it is judged that the temperature compensation model is underfitting.

[0089] The embodiment combines data set division, least square method modeling, model testing and evaluation, and model optimization, to construct and optimize the temperature compensation model of the device environment surface temperature and the test temperature difference. In the implementation process of the embodiment, first, the approximate relationship between the environment surface temperature difference and the test temperature difference is visually observed through the scatter plot, then the data is divided into training and test sets to effectively promote the generalization ability of the model and prevent overfitting. Next, the least square method is used to establish a preliminary model, and the mean square error is used to evaluate the prediction performance of the model. Finally, the overfitting or underfitting phenomenon of the model is identified through the training error curve, so that the temperature compensation model can accurately fit the environment surface temperature and the test temperature difference, thereby providing accurate and reliable prediction and evaluation for temperature compensation of different virtual heat source points, and further improving the efficiency and performance of the device.

[0090] Another embodiment of the present application provides a surface temperature detection method for a chip-level GaAs power device, which further comprises step S6 based on the above embodiment. Please refer to Figure 4 , the step S6 specifically comprises the following steps:

[0091] S61, while acquiring the environment temperature and the working temperature data of the virtual heat source point in real time in step S5, acquiring the heat-sensitive electrical parameters of the power device; taking an IGBT module as an example, the heat-sensitive electrical parameters at least include the threshold voltage, the saturation voltage and the forward conductance.

[0092] S62, constructing a plurality of electrical parameter analysis models, each of which corresponds to a virtual heat source point; wherein the electrical parameter analysis model is a polynomial regression model; the independent variables of the electrical parameter analysis model include the heat-sensitive electrical parameters and the environment temperature; the dependent variable of the electrical parameter analysis model is the working temperature data of the virtual heat source point.

[0093] S63, training the electrical parameter analysis model through the heat-sensitive electrical parameters, the working temperature data and the heat-sensitive electrical parameters;

[0094] S64, inputting the heat-sensitive electrical parameters and the working temperature data acquired in real time into the trained electrical parameter analysis model to predict the temperature of the virtual heat source point, and when the ratio of the prediction result to the working temperature data of the virtual heat source point acquired in real time is greater than a preset threshold, it is judged that the power device has a fault.

[0095] The embodiment obtains the thermal sensitive electrical parameters and the environment and working temperature data in real time, constructs an electrical parameter analysis model based on the data, and predicts the temperature of the virtual heat source point through the model. When the deviation between the predicted temperature and the actually obtained temperature exceeds a preset threshold, it can be determined in time that the power device has a fault, so as to improve the monitoring accuracy of the power device and the timeliness of fault detection, so as to improve the equipment efficiency and prolong the service life of the equipment.
