[0022] An embodiment of this application provides a method for quickly verifying a silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure, as Figure 1 shown. The method includes:

[0023] Step S100, dynamically and periodically monitoring the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure to obtain full-cycle output characteristics, and extracting the first output characteristics of the first cycle in the full-cycle output characteristics.

[0024] Preferably, a silicon carbide high-voltage MOS refers to a high-voltage power MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) device made of silicon carbide (SiC) material, that is, it is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) using silicon carbide as the semiconductor material, and is usually used in high-voltage power electronic applications. High voltage means that the rated operating voltage range of the MOS device is usually between several hundred volts and several thousand volts, and is suitable for the switching control or energy conversion of high-voltage circuits. The MOS structure consists of three layers: metal (M), oxide (O), and semiconductor (S). Among them, the oxide layer plays an insulating role, and the semiconductor layer controls the current flow. Dynamically monitor the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure periodically, that is, continuously and real-time monitor the dynamic response behavior of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure during operation. By applying a periodically changing input signal (such as voltage or current), measure the change of the output signal, so as to obtain the dynamic electrical characteristic data of the structure in a complete working cycle, as the full-cycle output characteristic. The full-cycle output characteristic refers to the set of all output data of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure in a working cycle, usually including the change curves of current and voltage over time, or the transient response characteristics under certain specific conditions, which comprehensively reflects the dynamic performance and operating state of the device. Finally, select and extract the data of the first cycle (the first output characteristic) from the full-cycle output characteristic. Among them, the first cycle is any one in the full cycle, and the output characteristic may be the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve of a certain time period, the dynamic response parameter of a certain point, or the key index related to the ideal characteristic after analysis, to ensure the data representativeness and the efficiency of analysis.

[0025] Step S200, read a predetermined trend comparison strategy, and compare the first IV characteristic curve obtained by analyzing the first output characteristic with the ideal IV characteristic curve based on the predetermined trend comparison strategy to obtain a first matching degree.

[0026] Preferably, the predetermined trend comparison strategy refers to a rule set in advance based on the theoretical analysis and experience accumulation of device performance for judging whether the device performance meets the requirements. It may include trend evaluation methods, such as evaluating the trend change of test data through methods like curve fitting and piecewise calculation; comparison parameters include curve slope, inflection point position, response time, etc.; the tolerance range defines the range allowing deviation from the ideal curve for quantifying the qualification of device performance; analyze the first output characteristic, that is, monitor the output characteristic of the first cycle during the operation of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure, extract and convert it into the corresponding current-voltage relationship curve to obtain the first IV characteristic curve, that is, the relationship curve between the current (I) and voltage (V) of the MOS structure, which reflects the dynamic electrical behavior (turn-on, turn-off, and dynamic performance) of the device during actual operation. The ideal IV characteristic curve is the performance target curve obtained according to the device theory design, representing the current-voltage relationship of the device in the best working state. Compare the first IV characteristic curve with the ideal IV characteristic curve, that is, based on the predetermined trend comparison strategy, compare the first IV characteristic curve with the ideal IV characteristic curve by using difference analysis, curve fitting degree calculation, or characteristic parameter comparison, etc., to obtain a quantitative index of consistency, that is, the first matching degree. A high matching degree means that the device performance is close to the ideal state, and a low matching degree indicates a large deviation.

[0027] Further, step S200 further includes step S210 of extracting the second output characteristic of the second cycle from the full-cycle output characteristic; step S220 of comparing the second IV characteristic curve obtained by analyzing the second output characteristic with the ideal IV characteristic curve based on the predetermined trend comparison strategy to obtain the second matching degree; step S230 of verifying the first matching degree with the second matching degree.

[0028] Preferably, select another period from the full-cycle output characteristics and extract the corresponding device dynamic output characteristics as the second output characteristics, including the performance of voltage, current or other parameters changing with time, to provide more sample data for further analysis of the device performance, for observing the consistency and stability during multi-cycle operation, and then analyze the second output characteristics to obtain the current-voltage relationship curve (IV characteristic curve) of the second period. Specifically, by comparing the second IV characteristic curve with the ideal IV characteristic curve, evaluate the performance consistency based on a predetermined trend comparison strategy (such as calculating the curve difference, the fitting degree of key points, etc.) to obtain the matching degree corresponding to the second period (the second matching degree). Finally, verify the first matching degree with the second matching degree, that is, by comparing the matching degrees of the first period and the second period, check their conformity, so as to verify the reliability and representativeness of the output characteristics of the first period. For example, if the first matching degree is close to the second matching degree, it indicates that the test results of the first period can reflect the overall performance of the device. If there is a large difference between the two, it may indicate that there is an abnormality in the device (such as fluctuations, unstable operation), and the reason needs to be further analyzed. Through the data comparison and verification of multiple working cycles, ensure that the extracted output characteristics and the calculated matching degrees are representative and reliable, improve the accuracy and credibility of the analysis results, and avoid misjudgment caused by relying only on single-cycle data.

[0029] Further, step S220 further includes step S221, dividing the second output characteristics according to the stage division plan to obtain the second stage division result; step S222, extracting any output characteristics corresponding to any stage in the second stage division result; step S223, analyzing the any output characteristics and drawing an arbitrary current-voltage scatter plot; step S224, performing curve fitting analysis on the arbitrary current-voltage scatter plot based on the principle of random sample consensus to obtain an arbitrary spline curve; step S225, performing overlapping comparison analysis on the arbitrary spline curve and the ideal IV characteristic curve to obtain an arbitrary overlapping degree; step S226, obtaining the second matching degree by weighted normalization processing of the arbitrary overlapping degree.

[0030] Preferably, the stage division plan refers to the rules for dividing the output characteristics into different time periods or state stages according to the operating characteristics of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure. The division basis may include time periods (such as turn-on, maintenance, and turn-off stages), power characteristics (such as the change trend of load current or voltage), and dynamic behaviors (such as the change amplitude or frequency of the current waveform). Applying this plan, the output characteristics of the second cycle are decomposed into several stages, and the characteristic data of each stage are determined to obtain the second stage division result; then, any output characteristic corresponding to any stage in the second stage division result is extracted, that is, the output data at a certain moment or in a certain state corresponding to a certain stage is randomly extracted, which may include specific voltage and current values, or the change curves of these data over time. Analyze it, and plot the relationship between the output voltage and current in this stage as a current-voltage scatter plot to intuitively reflect the distribution law of the current changing with the voltage.

[0031] Preferably, curve fitting analysis is performed on any current-voltage scatter plot based on the random sample consensus principle, that is, a reliable subset is selected from the scatter data, and a fitting algorithm (such as the spline interpolation method) is used to generate a smooth curve according to the current-voltage scatter plot to obtain any spline curve, which is used to approximately describe the current-voltage relationship in this stage. Among them, the random sample consensus principle (RANSAC) is a data analysis algorithm mainly used to process sample data containing noise. The goal is to select a reliable subset from the scatter data to fit the best curve and reduce the influence of noise on the result; then, the overlapping comparison analysis is performed between any spline curve and the ideal IV characteristic curve. The fitted spline curve is superimposed on the theoretically ideal IV curve, and their similarity is evaluated through difference calculation (such as area difference, mean square error, etc.) to obtain any overlapping degree, which represents the matching degree between any spline curve and the ideal IV characteristic curve. Finally, by assigning different weights to any overlapping degree and comprehensively considering the contribution values of the characteristics of each stage, the weighted and standardized overlapping degrees are summarized to obtain the overall matching degree of the output characteristics of the second cycle, and finally the second matching degree is obtained.

[0032] Further, step S221 includes step S221a, extracting the first stage in the predetermined type stage and obtaining the first stage characteristics of the first stage; step S221b, setting the first division plan of the first stage based on the first stage characteristics and forming the stage division plan; step S221c, wherein the predetermined type stage includes a cut-off region stage, a saturation region stage, and a linear region stage.

[0033] Preferably, the predetermined type stage includes a cut-off region stage, a saturation region stage, and a linear region stage, which reflect the operating characteristics of the device under different working conditions. In the cut-off region stage, the gate voltage (Vgs) is lower than the threshold voltage (Vth), and a conducting channel cannot be formed. The drain-source current (Id) is almost zero (only a tiny leakage current), and the drain-source voltage (Vds) is close to the applied power supply voltage. The impedance of the device is extremely high, and the device does not conduct current, showing the "off" state of the switch. The saturation region stage is also called the "constant current region". The gate voltage is higher than the threshold voltage (Vgs > Vth), and the drain-source voltage (Vds) exceeds a certain saturation value. The conducting channel is fully formed, and the drain-source current (Id) is mainly controlled by the gate voltage (Vgs) and hardly changes with the drain-source voltage (Vds). The drain-source voltage (Vds) maintains a low level, and the device is fully conducting. The drain-source current is controlled by the gate, showing a stable "on" state of the switch. In the linear region stage (variable resistance region), the gate voltage is higher than the threshold voltage (Vgs > Vth), but the drain-source voltage (Vds) is lower than the saturation value. The conducting channel is not fully formed, and the drain-source current (Id) changes linearly with the drain-source voltage (Vds). The drain-source voltage (Vds) is relatively high but still lower than the saturation value, and the device is in a partially conducting state, showing resistive behavior.

[0034] Preferably, extract the first stage in the predetermined type stage and obtain the first stage characteristics (data characteristics reflecting the device behavior within the corresponding stage) of the first stage, such as the voltage and current relationship (such as whether the current in the cut-off region is close to zero), the dynamic response characteristics (such as the rate of state change), etc. Then, according to the extracted first stage characteristics, further subdivide the state or time period of this stage to more accurately analyze its behavior. For example, the cut-off region stage can be subdivided into a "gate rising stage" and a "fully cut-off stage". Integrate the division schemes of multiple stages to form a complete stage division plan for guiding the characteristic extraction and analysis throughout the cycle. By dividing the working cycle of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure into clear stages (such as the cut-off region, saturation region, and linear region) and extracting and analyzing the characteristics of each stage in detail, the performance of the device in different states can be systematically mastered, thereby improving the analysis accuracy.

[0035] Furthermore, step S224 further includes step A: obtaining a first spline scatter point set of the arbitrary current-voltage scatter plot based on the random sample consensus principle; step B: fitting a first spline curve based on the first spline scatter point set; step C: comparing the first spline scatter point set with the total scatter point set of the arbitrary current-voltage scatter plot to obtain a first non-spline scatter point set; step D: performing a support rate analysis on the first spline curve through the first non-spline scatter point set to obtain a first support rate; step E: when the first support rate reaches a predetermined support threshold, taking the first spline curve as the arbitrary spline curve.

[0036] Preferably, the Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) principle is used to extract a reliable subset ("inliers") from a sample containing a large amount of noise. By randomly sampling scattered points and finding the subset that best fits the model. Specifically, based on the RANSAC principle, a first spline scatter point set of any current-voltage scatter plot is obtained. These points have high consistency and representativeness in curve fitting. The scattered points are fitted by a mathematical interpolation method (such as B-spline interpolation or Cubic-spline interpolation) to generate a smooth curve that can reflect the data change trend, namely the first spline curve. The first spline scatter point set is compared with the total scatter point set of any current-voltage scatter plot, and the points belonging to the first spline scatter point set are removed from the total scatter point set. The remaining points are the first non-spline scatter point set (outliers or noise). Among them, the total scatter point set is all the data points of any current-voltage scatter plot, including the spline scatter points that meet the spline fitting conditions and the non-spline scatter points that deviate from the spline. The support rate analysis of the first spline curve is performed by the first non-spline scatter point set, that is, to check whether the first spline curve can be supported by enough scattered points to verify its representativeness and accuracy. If the points in the first non-spline scatter point set are close to the first spline curve, they can also be reclassified as points supporting the curve, thereby increasing the support rate. Finally, the first support rate is compared with a predetermined support threshold. The predetermined support threshold is a preset support rate threshold, indicating that the spline curve must be supported by enough scattered points to be accepted. For example, if the support rate reaches more than 80%, the spline curve is considered valid. If the first spline curve is greater than the predetermined support threshold, indicating that it passes the support rate verification, it is confirmed as an arbitrary spline curve as the final description of the current-voltage characteristics at this stage, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the results.

[0037] Furthermore, step D further includes D10: randomly extract any non-spline scatter point from the first non-spline scatter point set and denote the arbitrary non-spline scatter point as a calibration sample point; step D20: determine whether the calibration sample point meets the first support sample point constraint of the first spline curve; step D30: if it meets the requirement, add the calibration sample point to the support sample point list and count the number of support sample points in the support sample point list; step D40: take the ratio of the number of support sample points to the number of the first calibration sample points in the first non-spline scatter point set to obtain the first support rate.

[0038] Preferably, any non-spline scatter point in the first non-spline scatter point set is randomly extracted, and the any non-spline scatter point is denoted as a calibration sample point to verify whether it can support the first spline curve, and then it is determined whether the calibration sample point meets the first support sample point constraint of the first spline curve. The first support sample point constraint refers to the condition for determining whether a scatter point "supports" a spline curve. For example, whether the vertical distance between the calibration sample point and the spline curve is less than a predetermined threshold. If the calibration sample point meets the support sample point constraint (the vertical distance between the calibration sample point and the spline curve is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold), it is considered that it can support the first spline curve, and the calibration sample point is added to the support sample point list, and the number of support sample points in the support sample point list is counted; finally, the ratio of the number of support sample points to the number of first calibration sample points in the first non-spline scatter point set is taken as the first support rate. The number of support sample points represents the number of non-spline scatter points consistent with the first spline curve, and the total number of the first non-spline scatter point set is used for normalizing the support degree. The support rate reflects the representativeness of the first spline curve in the non-spline scatter point set. If the support rate is high, it indicates that the spline curve fits the entire scatter data well.

[0039] Further, step D further includes that when the first support rate does not reach the predetermined support threshold, steps A to D are repeated until the predetermined support threshold is reached, the first support rate at that time is output, and the first spline curve at that time is used as the arbitrary spline curve.

[0040] Preferably, if the currently calculated support rate (the first support rate) is lower than the threshold value, it indicates that the fitting quality or representativeness of the spline curve is insufficient and needs to be re-adjusted and optimized. Then steps A to D are repeated, that is, the non-spline scatter point set is randomly sampled again, a new spline curve is fitted, the non-spline scatter point set is updated, the new spline curve is calibrated by the new non-spline scatter point set, and the support rate is recalculated. If the support rate still does not reach the threshold value, it is repeated again until the predetermined support threshold is reached, the first support rate at that time is output, and the first spline curve at this time is regarded as the arbitrary spline curve for representing the characteristic description of the current - voltage scatter plot.

[0041] Step S300, introducing a predetermined feedback calibration function to calibrate and adjust the first matching degree to obtain a first target matching degree.

[0042] Step S300 further includes step S310 of obtaining the material characteristic information of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure; step S320 of extracting the first application simulation information of the first cycle from the full-cycle output characteristics; step S330 of forming a calibration information set with the material characteristic information and the first application simulation information; step S340 of reading the matching degree factor in the predetermined feedback calibration function and traversing the matching degree factor in the calibration information set to obtain a calibration factor parameter set; step S350 of calibrating and adjusting the first matching degree according to the predetermined feedback calibration function in combination with the calibration factor parameter set to obtain the first target matching degree.

[0043] Preferably, the material characteristic information of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure is obtained, that is, the physical and electrical characteristic data of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure, such as material type, electrical properties of silicon carbide (SiC) (e.g., wide bandgap, high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity), conductivity, electron mobility, conduction bandwidth, etc., thermal characteristics, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion, etc., breakdown voltage: reflecting the withstand ability of the material under high voltage, etc.; the first application simulation information of the first cycle is extracted from the full-cycle output characteristics. The full-cycle output characteristics refer to the electrical response of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure within a complete working cycle, such as current-voltage (I-V) curve, current waveform, etc. The first application simulation information is the simulation data related to the first cycle, usually including the initial values of voltage and current, the dynamic behavior of the first cycle (such as switching time, rise / fall time, peak current, etc.); the material characteristic information and the application simulation information are combined to form a complete calibration information set, comprehensively reflecting the actual operating characteristics and expected behavior of the device.

[0044] Preferably, the matching degree factor in the predetermined feedback calibration function is read. Among them, the feedback calibration function is used to calibrate the matching degree according to the input material characteristic information and simulation data. The matching degree factor is multiple factors in the calibration function that affect the performance of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS, used to weigh the influence of each input characteristic, specifically including material characteristics, such as high frequency and high efficiency versus high voltage resistance, on-resistance and breakdown voltage (the breakdown voltage characterizes the high-voltage withstand ability of the device), high-temperature reliability (reliability in a high-temperature environment); dynamic and static characteristics (such as switching speed, switching loss, etc., the operating voltage and current values of the device and static conduction characteristics), short-circuit and over-current protection (ensuring that the device can protect itself from damage in a harsh environment), electric field strength of the gate oxide layer (determining the threshold voltage and conduction characteristics of the device), interface defects (causing performance degradation, such as increased leakage current, reduced breakdown voltage, etc.).

[0045] Preferably, traverse the matching degree factors in the calibration information set, that is, compare and analyze each matching degree factor in the calibration information set to calculate the specific influence of each factor. For example, how to adjust the gate design according to the high-frequency and high-efficiency characteristics of the material, or adjust the current and voltage characteristics according to the relationship between the on-resistance and the breakdown voltage, so as to obtain a specific set of calibration factor parameters, which reflects the actual contribution of each material characteristic or performance index to the overall device performance. The calibration factor parameter set may include the weight of each factor and the specific influence value of each factor on the performance (such as the proportion of the influence on the on-current, the degree of influence on the breakdown voltage, etc.). Finally, calibrate and adjust the first matching degree according to the feedback calibration function and the calibration factor parameter set. Specifically, use the feedback calibration function, take the calibration factor parameter set as the input parameter, and combine the predetermined feedback calibration function to perform operations and adjustments to obtain the first target matching degree, so that it can more accurately reflect the actual performance, thereby effectively improving the design accuracy and performance stability of the device, and improving its efficiency and reliability in practical applications.

[0046] Step S400, use the first target matching degree as the first structural effectiveness index of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure.

[0047] Preferably, use the first target matching degree as the first structural effectiveness index of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure, and quantify the overall performance and effectiveness of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure through the calibrated matching degree value. Among them, the first structural effectiveness index is used to measure the performance effectiveness of the silicon carbide high-voltage MOS structure. The effectiveness index is a measure of the "effectiveness" or "adaptability" of the device, indicating whether the device can meet the design requirements, especially the stability and reliability under complex conditions such as high voltage and temperature. For example, when the first target matching degree is relatively high, it means that the structure works well under the design expectation, has characteristics such as efficient current transmission, high breakdown voltage resistance, and low loss, and can effectively perform its functions in applications such as power conversion or high-voltage switching; when this index is relatively low, it indicates that there may be performance deviations in the actual operation of the device, and it may not be able to fully meet the design requirements and may need further optimization.
