[0030] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and above-mentioned drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so as to implement the embodiments of the present application described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0033] For the convenience of description, some nouns or terms involved in the embodiments of this application are described below:

[0034] Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor: abbreviated as IGCT;

[0040] As introduced in the background technology, the voltage operating conditions of thyristor devices in the prior art are generally 50Hz or 60Hz sine waves, and the operating conditions of IGBT and MOSFET devices are generally DC voltages. For IGCT devices, in the actual application process, the commutation and turn-off can be performed in the thyristor mode, and the device bears the AC voltage; at the same time, it can also perform active turn-off similar to the operating modes of IGBT and MOSFET, and the device directly bears the DC voltage. Therefore, when performing high-temperature blocking screening and reliability assessment on IGCT devices, high-temperature AC blocking and high-temperature DC blocking need to be carried out separately.

[0041] The currently commonly used power semiconductor device test circuits and test methods mainly meet the test requirements for high-temperature AC blocking of various thyristor devices and high-temperature DC blocking of IGBT and MOSFET devices. As a new type of power electronic device, the current test circuits and test methods for IGCT cannot fully meet the requirements for high-temperature blocking failure screening and reliability testing of the device.

[0042] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art that the high-temperature blocking test circuits and test methods cannot meet the requirements for IGCT device screening and reliability testing, and to solve the problem that the existing test circuits and test methods cannot fully meet the requirements for high-temperature blocking failure screening and reliability testing of the device, embodiments of the present application provide a high-temperature blocking test circuit, a high-temperature blocking test device, and a method for testing power semiconductor devices.

[0043] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
