[0003] On the one hand, the radiation resistance evaluation faced by GaN HEMT devices in aerospace applications is quite different from that of traditional Si-based semiconductor power tubes. The radiation resistance evaluation of traditional Si-based semiconductor power tubes cannot be directly used for the radiation resistance evaluation of GaN HEMT devices.
[0004] On the other hand, the radiation resistance evaluation circuit and analysis method for the dynamic performance of semiconductor power tubes usually use standard square wave circuits. The establishment time of the waveform during the turn-on and turn-off processes is in the order of ns to us, which is not suitable for aerospace solid-state power control applications. Therefore, traditional radiation resistance evaluation circuits and analysis methods cannot truly simulate the radiation resistance and safety margins of GaN HEMT devices for aerospace solid-state power control applications.

[0016] Furthermore,
[0017] The IDS measurement unit and the Ig measurement unit have the same circuit structure, and both include resistors Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, and transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6;

[0020] Furthermore, the signal conditioning unit realizes voltage output regulation between ±6V, generates two categories of steady-state voltage signals and periodic on-off signals, wherein the on-off signal is adjustable, and the characteristic is a slow on-off modulation signal, and the signal rise establishment time is set according to the characteristics of the GaN HEMT device applied to the corresponding aerospace solid-state power controller.
[0021] Further, the load simulation unit is a combination of switches and resistors, including switches K1 to K5, resistors RL2, RL3, RL4, and RL5;
[0022] One end of the switch K1 is connected to the source of the GaN HEMT device, and the other end is connected to the negative end of the DC power supply; one end of the switch K2 is connected to the source of the GaN HEMT device, and the other end is connected in series with RL2 and then connected to the negative end of the DC power supply; one end of the switch K3 is connected to the source of the GaN HEMT device, and the other end is connected in series with RL3 and then connected to the negative end of the DC power supply; one end of the switch K4 is connected to the source of the GaN HEMT device, and the other end is connected in series with RL4 and then connected to the negative end of the DC power supply; one end of the switch K5 is connected to the source of the GaN HEMT device, and the other end is connected in series with RL5 and then connected to the negative end of the DC power supply;

Among them, the ADC sampling circuit is responsible for the collection of data from each measurement unit, the data calculation and storage circuit is responsible for calculating the collected data and storing it in a specific format, and the data remote control and telemetry circuit is responsible for uploading the measured and calculated data to the PC.
[0026] Furthermore, the data online control and monitoring unit synthesizes the array into data packets and stores them in real time in the following format:
[0027] Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4 Data 5 Data 6 Test condition coding <![CDATA[I DS ]]> <![CDATA[V GS ]]> <![CDATA[V DS ]]> <![CDATA[I GS ]]> <![CDATA[R DSON ]]>

[0034] In the formula, K1~K4 are constants; R DSONis the on-resistance of the GaN HEMT device.
[0035] Furthermore, the data sampling and storage cycle of the data online control and monitoring unit is in the order of microseconds; the timing of uploading the data of the data online control and monitoring unit to the host computer is the following two ways:
[0036] 1) The host computer actively issues a data reading instruction, and the data online control and monitoring unit uploads the stored data packet;
[0037] 2) The data storage limit of the online control and monitoring unit is reached, and the data online control and monitoring unit uploads the stored data packets.
[0038] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a method for evaluating and analyzing the radiation resistance of a GaN HEMT device, comprising the following steps:
[0039] 1) Place the GaN HEMT device on a three-dimensional mobile platform, and set the LET ions to be incident at an angle θ(i). When the number of incident ions reaches 10 7 ions / cm 2 The total dose effect was considered during the analysis; the data under different test conditions were recorded in real time before, during and after the test, and fitted into curves. The GaN HEMT transfer curve, output characteristic curve, leakage characteristic curve and CV characteristic curve were extracted according to the working conditions and corresponding data;
[0040] 2) When V DS When the voltage starts to drop from the DC power supply output voltage value or suddenly becomes 0, the output current I DS If it increases sharply, it indicates that the single particle burnout function of the device fails, and the test is terminated; after the single particle burnout failure occurs, the power is cut off and restarted, and the GaNHEMT function is abnormal;
[0041] 3) When the VGS voltage suddenly becomes 0 or an abnormal value, the VDS voltage drops or the output current ID increases sharply, indicating that the device has a single-particle gate failure, and the test is terminated; after a single-particle gate failure occurs, the power is turned off and restarted, and the GaN HEMT function is abnormal;
[0042] 4) After ion irradiation with a certain LET value, if no single particle burnout failure is found, it is determined that the device's single particle burnout failure threshold is greater than the LET value; otherwise, it is determined to be lower than the LET value.
[0043] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

For the application of GaN HEMT in solid-state power controller products, it can more truly simulate the influence of radiation factors on its characteristics.
