Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement circuit and control method. Background Art

[0002] The current level of commercial silicon carbide MOSFET single components is not enough to meet the needs of high-power applications. It is necessary to use multiple silicon carbide MOSFET components in parallel to achieve high-power applications. The parasitic parameters between silicon carbide MOSFET components are more different than those of silicon IGBT components. Static and dynamic parameters such as on-resistance, threshold voltage, transconductance, parasitic capacitance and other parameters are unevenly distributed, resulting in differences, which makes the current distribution of parallel components unbalanced. It will also cause voltage overshoot and unbalanced current in some components during the rapid disconnection of the parallel components inside the silicon carbide power module. Finally, the temperature of the parallel components may be inconsistent due to the difference in current distribution. Excessive temperature will increase the risk of component failure, and then cause the parallel components inside the silicon carbide power module to fail due to overcurrent. Therefore, the component parameters are measured to grasp the differences between the parameters of each component, and the results of the measurement are used for sorting, so that the parameters of the sorted components are consistent. The electrical equipment composed of the sorted components in parallel will have significantly improved current distribution, which is of great significance to improving the reliability and service life of electrical equipment.

Description of the Drawings

[0037] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of this application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0043] Figure 6 It is the schematic diagram of the structure of a host computer terminal embodiment for implementing a control method for a batch measurement circuit of a silicon carbide MOSFET provided by this application. Detailed implementation manners

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, the Agilent B1505A power analyzer measures static parameters, mainly using two measurement modules, namely the high-power module (High Power Source / Monitor Unit, HPSMU) and the high-current module (High Current Source / Monitor Unit, HCMSU). Among them, the HPSMU outputs current and voltage at the rated power, and the HCSMU outputs pulsed high current for measurement. By using the above two power modules, the measurement of the static parameters of the silicon carbide MOSFET can be realized. In the measurement of the static parameters of the silicon carbide MOSFET, for the gate-source electrode, since the current passing through is much smaller than the drain-source current, the influence can be ignored, so the gate is measured using a DC source. Therefore, the HCSMU is connected between the drain and the source, and the HPSMU is connected to the gate. During the measurement, the HPSMU applies the corresponding voltage on the gate, and the HCSMU applies a current pulse between the drain and the source according to the set value. The two modules respectively measure the corresponding gate voltage (V GS ), drain-source current (I DS ), and drain-source voltage (V DS ).

[0045] The existing measurement of the static parameters of the silicon carbide MOSFET is based on the Agilent B1505 and can only measure a single component. When multiple components need to be measured, the components need to be replaced manually, which greatly increases the time and labor costs. In order to adapt to the current environment of high demand for semiconductor components, therefore, research on the measurement method and system for large-scale multi-component silicon carbide MOSFETs must be carried out to solve the problem of low measurement efficiency of multi-components today.

[0046] The embodiment of this application provides a batch measurement circuit and a control method for a silicon carbide MOSFET, which are used to solve the technical problem that the existing measurement method of the silicon carbide MOSFET can no longer meet the increasing demand for component sorting, and helps to improve the lifespan and reliability of equipment and systems composed of parallel chips.

[0047] To make the invention objectives, features, and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] As Figure 2 shown, a silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement circuit provided by this application includes: a high-power module HP, a high-current module HC, a switch controller C, and a component measurement and assembly module M;

[0049] The component measurement and assembly module M is configured with three main interfaces, which are respectively used to connect the positive electrode of the high-power module HP and the positive and negative electrodes of the high-current module HC;

[0050] The component measurement and assembly module M is internally configured with several groups of component measurement sub-circuits connected in parallel, and each component measurement sub-circuit is configured with a MOSFET component test position for assembling the MOSFET components to be measured;

[0051] Each MOSFET component test position is configured with three sub-interfaces for connecting the pins of each MOSFET component to the corresponding main interface respectively;

[0052] The switch controller C is used to control the relay switch, and the relay switch is used to control the access or cut-out of the component measurement sub-circuit.

[0053] More specifically, the relay switch includes: a first relay switch and a second relay switch;

[0054] Each component measurement sub-circuit includes a first relay switch and a second relay switch. Among them, the first relay switch is used to control the on-off between the high-power module HP and the gate of the MOSFET component to be measured, and the second relay switch is used to control the on-off between the high-current module HC and the source and drain of the MOSFET component to be measured.

[0055] It should be noted that in actual static parameter measurement, considering that only a single component can be measured during the measurement by Agilent B1505, relays are used to control the multi-component measurement, so that the parameters of multiple components can be measured in an orderly manner. The specific circuit structure is as Figure 2 shown. The HCSMU and HP modules in Agilent B1505 are respectively connected to the drain-source and gate of the silicon carbide MOSFET. Therefore, the relays need to control the drain and gate respectively, and the source can be used as the common source without relay control.

[0056] Since a large number of relays are required to control the measurement of large-scale silicon carbide MOSFET components, a relay controller needs to be connected to the relays. Instructions are sent to the relay controller through the host computer to ensure that the relays connected to each silicon carbide MOSFET component can be correctly turned on and off. When measuring the parameters of a certain silicon carbide MOSFET component, the relays at the drain and gate of the component are turned on through the host computer, and the relays in other circuits are turned off to perform the measurement and obtain the static parameter measurement results of the silicon carbide MOSFET component.

[0057] Furthermore, based on the silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement circuit provided in the above embodiment, the present application also provides a corresponding silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement control method. The silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement control method provided by the present application is specifically as follows:

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of the silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement control method provided by the present application includes:

[0059] Step 101: In response to the measurement task start instruction, send a control instruction to the switch controller to control the relay switch of any group of component measurement sub-circuits in the silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement circuit to close, and disconnect the relay switches of the remaining component measurement sub-circuits;

[0060] Step 102: Send a control instruction to the power analysis device to enable the power analysis device to control the high-power module and the large-current module to measure the MOSFET component according to a preset automated measurement script, and obtain the static parameter measurement results of the currently measured MOSFET component;

[0061] Step 103: Sequentially send control instructions to the switch controller and the power analysis device to enable the switch controller to switch the connected component measurement sub-circuit, and then the power analysis device measures the newly connected MOSFET component until all the MOSFET components in all the component measurement sub-circuits are measured.

[0062] It should be noted that based on the silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement circuit provided in the above embodiment, the silicon carbide MOSFET batch measurement control method provided in this embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, in this solution, the host computer issues instructions to the relay controller to enable the relays connected to each silicon carbide MOSFET component to be correctly switched on and off. When measuring the parameters of a certain silicon carbide MOSFET component, an instruction is sent from the host computer to control the switch controller to close the relay at the drain and gate of the MOSFET component and open the relays in other circuits to achieve the measurement, so as to obtain the static parameter measurement results of the silicon carbide MOSFET component. If multiple components need to be measured, only the relay in the corresponding circuit of a single component needs to be turned on, disconnected after the measurement, and then the relay in the corresponding circuit of the next component is closed to continue the measurement until all the silicon carbide MOSFET components assembled in the measurement circuit are measured and the control process ends. Finally, based on the static parameters of the large-scale MOSFET chips obtained in the previous measurement process, the chips can be sorted and paralleled to improve the life and reliability of the equipment and systems composed of the paralleled chips.

[0063] More specifically, the static parameters mentioned in this embodiment include: threshold voltage, on-resistance, transfer curve, and output curve.

[0064] Furthermore, in step 102 of this embodiment, controlling the high-power module and the large-current module to measure the MOSFET component according to the preset automated measurement script, and obtaining the static parameter measurement results of the currently measured MOSFET component includes:

[0065] Applying a voltage to the gate of the MOSFET component to be measured through the high-power module and applying a current pulse to the source and drain of the MOSFET component to be measured through the large-current module, and determining the transfer curve and output curve of the MOSFET component according to the obtained current data and voltage data;

[0066] Determining the threshold voltage and on-resistance of the MOSFET component respectively according to the transfer curve and output curve.

[0067] More specifically, the current data and voltage data specifically include: gate voltage, drain-source current, and drain-source voltage.

[0068] More specifically, determining the transfer curve and output curve of the MOSFET component according to the obtained current data and voltage data specifically includes:

[0069] Starting from a zero voltage, the high-power module outputs a stepped voltage to the gate of the MOSFET component according to the voltage step size, gradually increasing the voltage level until the set voltage threshold is reached. The large-current module applies a pulsed voltage with a constant amplitude to the drain-source of the MOSFET component, measures the drain-source current at different gate voltages under a constant drain-source voltage, and obtains the transfer curve of the MOSFET component according to the variation relationship between the gate voltage and the drain-source current;

[0070] According to the set gate voltage value, the high-power module applies a constant DC voltage to the gate of the MOSFET element. The high-current module starts from zero voltage and applies a pulsed voltage to the drain-source of the MOSFET element according to the voltage step, gradually increasing the pulsed voltage amplitude until the set voltage threshold is reached, measuring the drain-source current corresponding to different drain-source voltages under a constant gate voltage, and obtaining the output curve of the MOSFET element according to the variation relationship between the drain-source voltage and the drain-source current.

[0071] It should be noted that when measuring the transfer curve, the gate voltage outputs a DC voltage in a stepped manner, gradually increasing the voltage level, applying a pulsed voltage with a constant amplitude to the drain-source, measuring the drain-source current, and obtaining the curve; when measuring the output curve, a constant DC voltage is applied to the gate voltage, a pulsed voltage is applied to the drain-source, and the pulsed voltage amplitude is gradually increased from zero until the set value, measuring the drain-source current under different drain-source voltages, and obtaining the curve.

[0072] Based on the measured transfer curve and output curve, further measurements of the threshold voltage and on-resistance are carried out as follows:

[0073] According to the transfer curve measurement method, based on referring to the device data sheet, a rated drain-source current threshold is set. When the drain-source current exceeds the threshold during the measurement process, the gate-source voltage when exceeding the threshold and the corresponding drain-source current at this time are extracted, and the gate-source voltage and the corresponding drain-source current when not exceeding the threshold for the previous time are extracted; according to the linear interpolation method, the gate-source voltage of the MOSFET element corresponding to when the drain-source current is equal to the set threshold is calculated, and this gate-source voltage is the threshold voltage:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, V th is the threshold voltage to be calculated, V gs(n) is the gate-source voltage when exceeding the threshold, V gs(n-1) is the gate-source voltage when not exceeding the threshold, I ds(n) is the gate-source voltage when exceeding the threshold and the corresponding drain-source current at this time, I ds(n-1) is the gate-source voltage when not exceeding the threshold and the corresponding drain-source current, I ds(set,n) is the set drain-source current threshold;

[0076] According to the measurement method of the output curve, based on the reference device data sheet, set the rated drain-source current threshold. When the drain-source current exceeds the threshold during the measurement, extract the drain-source voltage and the corresponding drain-source current at this time, and extract the drain-source voltage and the corresponding drain-source current when the previous value did not exceed the threshold; calculate the resistance of the MSOFET component corresponding to the set threshold when the drain-source current is equal to the set threshold according to the linear interpolation method, and this resistance is the on-resistance:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, R ds(on) is the on-resistance to be obtained, V ds(n) is the drain-source voltage when it exceeds the threshold, V ds(n-1) is the gate-source voltage when it does not exceed the threshold, I ds(n) is the drain-source voltage when it exceeds the threshold and the corresponding drain-source current at this time, I ds(n-1) is the drain-source current corresponding to the drain-source voltage when it does not exceed the threshold.

[0079] It should be noted that in this system, the threshold voltage is obtained from the transfer curve. When the drain-source current in the transfer curve reaches the specified current value, the corresponding gate voltage is the threshold voltage. Therefore, to obtain the threshold voltage, a certain drain-source current value needs to be specified first, and the gate voltage corresponding to this drain-source current is the threshold voltage. After the transfer curve of the silicon carbide MOSFET component is tested, find the values and corresponding gate voltages that are slightly lower and slightly higher than the specified drain-source current value from the transfer curve data, and use the linear interpolation method to obtain the threshold voltage value. The on-resistance is obtained from the output curve under a certain specific gate voltage. When the drain-source current reaches the specified current value, the ratio of the corresponding drain-source voltage and the drain-source current is the on-resistance . Therefore, to obtain the on-resistance, a certain drain-source current value needs to be specified first, and the ratio of the drain-source voltage to this current value under this drain-source current is the on-resistance. After the output curve of the silicon carbide MOSFET component is tested, find the values and corresponding drain-source voltages that are slightly lower and slightly higher than the specified drain-source current value from the output curve data, and use the linear interpolation method to obtain the corresponding drain-source voltage value, and then obtain the on-resistance. The specific measurement logic of each static parameter of the silicon carbide MOSFET is as Figure 5 shown:

[0080] Figure 5Shows the logical flow of the host computer controlling the Agilent B1505 to measure the relevant parameters of a single-chip silicon carbide MOSFET, which is divided into four parts:

[0093] ④ Current thresholds of the drain-source and gate-source

[0094] After the settings are completed, the measurement is carried out directly.

[0096] Set parameters:

[0097] ① Drain-source current value (I DS ) when calculating the threshold voltage

[0098] ② Starting value, ending value and step size of the gate voltage (V GS )

[0099] ③ Amplitude of the drain-source pulse voltage

[0100] ④ Pulse period and width

[0101] ⑤ Current thresholds of the drain-source and gate-source

[0102] The threshold voltage (V GS (th)) is calculated by the interpolation method.

[0103] Measuring the on-resistance:

[0104] Setting parameters:

[0105] ① The drain-source current value (I DS ) when calculating the on-resistance;

[0106] ② The specific gate voltage (V GS );

[0108] ④ The pulse period and width;

[0109] ⑤ The current thresholds of the drain-source and gate-source.

[0110] Use the interpolation method to obtain the voltage (V DS ) at the set drain-source current, and then calculate the on-resistance through R DS(on) = V DS / I DS .

[0111] In summary, in the measurement logic of the static parameters of the silicon carbide MOSFET on a large scale, the measurement logic of the static parameters of a single component is combined with the measurement control logic of multiple components, enabling the measurement of the parameters of multiple components without manual measurement of a single component, greatly improving the measurement efficiency.
