Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of static testing of semiconductor power devices, and in particular to a method for suppressing leakage current during static testing of semiconductor power devices. Background Art
[0002] The leakage current suppression method for static testing of semiconductor power devices is a method for static testing of semiconductor power devices. The leakage current of semiconductor power devices usually refers to the unexpected small current generated inside the device due to material imperfections such as crystal defects, impurities, interface states, etc. in the absence of an external signal or in the cut-off state. The existence of leakage current may cause the power device to generate additional power consumption. In the static test of power devices, accurate measurement of leakage current is crucial to evaluating the insulation performance of the device. With the continuous development of science and technology, people's requirements for leakage current suppression methods for static testing of semiconductor power devices are also getting higher and higher.
[0003] The existing static test method for semiconductor power devices has certain drawbacks when used. Although the existing leakage current test method can suppress the leakage current to a certain extent, the non-target leakage current generated by other parts of the test circuit, such as connecting wires, test fixtures and auxiliary equipment, may interfere with the test results and cause measurement errors. Therefore, when conducting leakage current testing of semiconductor power devices, it is necessary to effectively suppress the leakage current generated by the circuit parts other than the power device under test. To this end, we propose a static test leakage current suppression method for semiconductor power devices. Summary of the invention
[0004] Technical problem to be solved: In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for suppressing leakage current in static testing of semiconductor power devices. The Guard line of the three-coaxial interface is used to suppress leakage current on connecting wires, test fixtures and auxiliary equipment, effectively improving the accuracy of leakage current testing in static testing of power devices, enhancing the reliability of the system, and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0005] Technical solution: To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for suppressing leakage current in static testing of semiconductor power devices, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1: PCB design is carried out in conjunction with the triaxial interface. During the PCB design stage, Guard line technology is used for optimization design. The Guard line completely surrounds the high-voltage line, namely the Hi line and the SENSE Hi line, and avoids contact with the low-voltage line, namely the Lo line and the SENSELo line, to achieve equipotential surround protection for the input signal line, and at the same time suppress the leakage current of the connecting line, test fixture and auxiliary equipment;
[0007] S2: The instrument is connected to the PCB via a double-ended triaxial interface. Connect the triaxial interface of the instrument to the triaxial interface on the PCB to avoid additional noise or error caused by poor contact.
[0008] S3: Insert the MOS tube to be tested into the socket, insert the MOS tube of the semiconductor power device to be tested into the dedicated test socket on the PCB board, ensure that the electrical connection between the MOS tube and the test system is correct, and prepare for the subsequent leakage current test;
[0009] S4: Start the static leakage current test. The experimental environment required for the leakage current test has been built, and the static leakage current test of the MOS tube can be started;
[0010] S5: The Hi end of the meter outputs a high level and the Lo end outputs a low level, which means that the Hi port and Lo port of the meter output the set high level and low level respectively. The voltage is transmitted from the dual-port triaxial connection line to the Hi end and Lo end of the PCB board, and is added to the D end and S end of the MOS tube of the semiconductor power device to be tested through a special test socket;
[0011] S6: The meter displays the leakage current of the MOS tube. Since the level of the Guard line on the PCB is consistent with the Hi end, the leakage current generated by the circuit part other than the power device under test is suppressed, so that the leakage current measured by the meter is the leakage current of the MOS tube itself.
[0012] S7: The static leakage current test is completed. The static leakage current test of the MOS tube has been completed, and the accuracy of the leakage current test has been improved through this method.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a three-coaxial interface, a leakage resistor and a leakage capacitor, a semiconductor power device DUT under test and a PCB board, a Hi line, a SENSE Hi line, a Guard line, a Lo line and a SENSE Lo line are set on the PCB board, the three-coaxial interface is used to provide high and low levels to the semiconductor power device DUT under test, and measure the leakage current of the semiconductor power device DUT under test, and the three-coaxial interface includes a center signal line, a Guard line and a GROUND line.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the center signal line is located at the center of the three-coaxial interface, with the purpose of providing high and low levels to the semiconductor power device DUT under test and measuring the leakage current of the semiconductor power device DUT under test. The high level is transmitted through the Hi line in the three-coaxial interface, and the low level is transmitted through the Lo line in the three-coaxial interface, which enhances the stability and anti-interference ability of the signal and improves the accuracy of the leakage current test.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the Guard line is in the middle layer of the three-coaxial interface, surrounding the Hi line and the Lo line of the central signal line respectively, wherein the potential of the Guard line is equal to the potential of the Hi line. This potential matching ensures that the current on the Hi line will not leak through the Guard line, thereby achieving equipotential surround protection for the input signal line.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the GROUND line is in the outermost layer of the three-coaxial interface, and the outermost GROUND line of the Hi line and the outermost GROUND line of the Lo line are connected together to provide a common reference potential for the central signal line in the three-coaxial interface to ensure the accuracy and stability of the signal.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the leakage resistance and leakage capacitance come from the connecting wires, test fixtures and auxiliary equipment in the leakage current test loop from the Hi line, Guard line to the Lo line, including the leakage resistance R and leakage capacitance C between the Hi line and the Guard line and the leakage resistance R and leakage capacitance C between the Lo line and the Guard line.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, there is no leakage current in the leakage resistor R and the leakage capacitor C. Since the potential of the Hi line is equal to the potential of the Guard line, the current of the Hi line will not leak to the Guard line through the leakage resistor R and the leakage capacitor C.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, there is leakage current in the leakage resistor R and the leakage capacitor C. Since the potential of the Guard line is equal to the potential of the Hi line, the leakage current of the Guard line will flow to the Lo line through the leakage resistor R and the leakage capacitor C, and will not pass through the semiconductor power device DUT under test. The leakage current from the Guard line to the Lo line is provided by the Guard line voltage, and the Guard line voltage is obtained after the Hi line passes through the voltage follower. Since the voltage follower is a high-impedance input, the current of the Guard line has no effect on the Hi line current. Therefore, the leakage current flowing through the semiconductor power device DUT under test is the current output by the instrument on the Hi line.
[0020] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method for suppressing leakage current in static testing of semiconductor power devices, which has the following beneficial effects: This method for suppressing leakage current in static testing of semiconductor power devices utilizes the Guard line of the three-coaxial interface to suppress leakage current on connecting lines, test fixtures and auxiliary equipment, effectively improves the accuracy of leakage current testing in static testing of power devices, and enhances the reliability of the system; the method is simple and easy to implement, and can achieve high-precision leakage current testing in conjunction with PCB design, which reduces the difficulty of operation, reduces additional equipment investment and maintenance costs, and improves the economy of testing; the method is not only suitable for leakage current testing of semiconductor power devices, but can also be extended to other electronic testing and measurement fields to improve the performance and reliability of electronic systems. The entire method for suppressing leakage current in static testing of semiconductor power devices has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has better results than traditional methods.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a method for suppressing leakage current in static testing of a semiconductor power device comprises the following steps:
[0029] S1: PCB design is carried out in conjunction with the triaxial interface. During the PCB design stage, Guard line technology is used for optimization design. The Guard line completely surrounds the high-voltage line, namely the Hi line and the SENSE Hi line, and avoids contact with the low-voltage line, namely the Lo line and the SENSELo line, to achieve equipotential surround protection for the input signal line, and at the same time suppress the leakage current of the connecting line, test fixture and auxiliary equipment;
[0030] S2: The instrument is connected to the PCB via a double-ended triaxial interface. Connect the triaxial interface of the instrument to the triaxial interface on the PCB to avoid additional noise or error caused by poor contact.
[0031] S3: Insert the MOS tube to be tested into the socket, insert the MOS tube of the semiconductor power device to be tested into the dedicated test socket on the PCB board, ensure that the electrical connection between the MOS tube and the test system is correct, and prepare for the subsequent leakage current test;
[0032] S4: Start the static leakage current test. The experimental environment required for the leakage current test has been built, and the static leakage current test of the MOS tube can be started;
[0033] S5: The Hi end of the meter outputs a high level and the Lo end outputs a low level, which means that the Hi port and Lo port of the meter output the set high level and low level respectively. The voltage is transmitted from the dual-port triaxial connection line to the Hi end and Lo end of the PCB board, and is added to the D end and S end of the MOS tube of the semiconductor power device to be tested through a special test socket;
[0034] S6: The meter displays the leakage current of the MOS tube. Since the level of the Guard line on the PCB is consistent with the Hi end, the leakage current generated by the circuit part other than the power device under test is suppressed, so that the leakage current measured by the meter is the leakage current of the MOS tube itself.
[0035] S7: The static leakage current test is completed. The static leakage current test of the MOS tube has been completed, and the accuracy of the leakage current test has been improved through this method.
[0036] Furthermore, the three coaxial interface 1, the leakage resistor and the leakage capacitor 2, the semiconductor power device DUT3 under test and the PCB board, the Hi line 4, the SENSE Hi line 5, the Guard line 6, the Lo line 7 and the SENSE Lo line 8 are set on the PCB board, the three coaxial interface 1 is used to provide high and low levels to the semiconductor power device DUT3 under test, and measure the leakage current of the semiconductor power device DUT3 under test, and the three coaxial interface 1 includes a center signal line, a Guard line 6 and a GROUND line.
[0037] Furthermore, the center signal line is located at the center of the three-coaxial interface 1, with the purpose of providing high and low levels to the semiconductor power device DUT3 under test and measuring the leakage current of the semiconductor power device DUT3 under test. The high level is transmitted through the Hi line 4 in the three-coaxial interface 1, and the low level is transmitted through the Lo line 7 in the three-coaxial interface 1, which enhances the stability and anti-interference ability of the signal and improves the accuracy of the leakage current test.
[0038] Furthermore, the Guard line 6 is in the middle layer of the three-coaxial interface 1, surrounding the Hi line 4 and the Lo line 7 of the central signal line respectively, wherein the potential of the Guard line 6 is equal to the potential of the Hi line 4. This potential matching ensures that the current on the Hi line 4 will not leak through the Guard line 6, thereby achieving equipotential surround protection for the input signal line.
[0039] Furthermore, the GROUND line is at the outermost layer of the triaxial interface 1, the outermost GROUND line of the Hi line 4 and the outermost GROUND line of the Lo line 7 are connected together to provide a common reference potential for the central signal line in the triaxial interface 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the signal.
[0040] Furthermore, the leakage resistance and leakage capacitance 2 come from the connecting wires, test fixtures and auxiliary equipment in the leakage current test loop from the Hi line 4, the Guard line 6 to the Lo line 7, including the leakage resistance R1 and the leakage capacitance C1 between the Hi line 4 and the Guard line 6 and the leakage resistance R2 and the leakage capacitance C2 between the Lo line 7 and the Guard line 6.
[0041] Furthermore, there is no leakage current in the leakage resistor R1 and the leakage capacitor C1 . Since the potential of the Hi line 4 is equal to the potential of the Guard line 6 , the current of the Hi line 4 will not leak to the Guard line 6 through the leakage resistor R1 and the leakage capacitor C1 .
[0042] Furthermore, there is leakage current in the leakage resistor R2 and the leakage capacitor C2. Since the potential of the Guard line 6 is equal to the potential of the Hi line 4, the leakage current of the Guard line 6 will flow to the Lo line 7 through the leakage resistor R2 and the leakage capacitor C2, and will not pass through the semiconductor power device DUT under test. The leakage current from the Guard line 6 to the Lo line 7 is provided by the Guard line 6 voltage, and the Guard line 6 voltage is obtained after the Hi line 4 passes through the voltage follower. Since the voltage follower is a high-impedance input, the current of the Guard line 6 has no effect on the current of the Hi line 4. Therefore, the leakage current flowing through the semiconductor power device DUT under test is the current output by the instrument on the Hi line 4.
[0043] Example:
[0044] Figure 1 The invention is a structural diagram of a leakage current suppression method for static testing of a conductor power device, comprising a triaxial interface 1, a leakage resistor and a leakage capacitor 2, and a semiconductor power device DUT 3 under test;
[0045] The triaxial interface is used to provide high and low levels to the semiconductor power device DUT under test and measure the leakage current of the semiconductor power device DUT under test. The triaxial interface includes the center signal line (Hi line and Lo line), the Guard line (shielding net) and the GROUND line (grounding line);
[0046] The center signal line is located in the center of the three-coaxial interface. The purpose is to provide high and low levels to the power device DUT under test and measure the leakage current of the DUT. The high level is transmitted through the Hi line in the three-coaxial interface, and the low level is transmitted through the Lo line in the three-coaxial interface. This separation design enhances the stability and anti-interference ability of the signal and improves the accuracy of the leakage current test.
[0047] The Guard line is in the middle layer of the triaxial interface, surrounding the Hi line and the Lo line of the central signal line respectively. The potential of the Guard line is equal to that of the Hi line. This potential matching ensures that the current on the Hi line will not leak through the Guard line, realizing equipotential surrounding protection for the input signal line, thereby protecting the integrity of the signal; the two Guard lines are connected together to form a continuous shielding path, further enhancing the anti-interference capability, preventing external leakage current from reaching the input port and affecting the output voltage of the port, and at the same time suppressing the leakage current of the connecting wire, test fixture and auxiliary equipment;
[0048] The GROUND line is at the outermost layer of the triaxial interface.

[0050] There is no leakage current in the leakage resistor R1 and the leakage capacitor C1. Since the potential of the Hi line is equal to the potential of the Guard line, the current of the Hi line will not leak to the Guard line through the leakage resistor R1 and the leakage capacitor C1.
[0051] There is leakage current in the leakage resistor R2 and the leakage capacitor C2. Since the potential of the Guard line is equal to the potential of the Hi line, the leakage current of the Guard line will flow to the Lo line through the leakage resistor R2 and the leakage capacitor C2, and will not pass through the semiconductor power device DUT under test. The leakage current from the Guard line to the Lo line is provided by the Guard line voltage, and the Guard line voltage is obtained after the Hi line passes through the voltage follower. Since the voltage follower is a high-impedance input, the current of the Guard line has no effect on the Hi line current. Therefore, the leakage current flowing through the semiconductor power device DUT under test is the current output by the instrument on the Hi line.
[0052] The semiconductor power device DUT under test supports the measurement of various types of semiconductor power devices, such as MOS tubes, IGBTs and other power devices.

[0064] S4 starts the leakage current static test, which means that the experimental environment required for the leakage current test has been built, and the leakage current static test of the MOS tube can be started;
[0065] The Hi end of the S5 meter outputs a high level and the Lo end outputs a low level, which means that the Hi port and Lo port of the meter output the set high level and low level respectively. The voltage is transmitted from the dual-port triaxial connection line to the Hi end and Lo end of the PCB board, and is added to the D end and S end of the MOS tube of the semiconductor power device to be tested through a special test socket;
[0066] The leakage current of the MOS tube displayed by the S6 meter is that the level of the Guard line on the PCB board is consistent with the Hi end, which suppresses the leakage current generated by the circuit part other than the power device under test, so that the leakage current measured by the meter is the leakage current of the MOS tube itself;
