Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0054] Figure 2 is the test circuit topology diagram of the power cycle and high-temperature reverse bias coupling test method for semiconductor devices according to the present invention. Detailed implementation manners
[0055] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following describes the detailed implementation manners of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0056] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0057] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0058] Embodiment 1
[0059] Referring to Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a power cycle and high-temperature reverse bias coupling test method for semiconductor devices, including:
[0060] S100: Set test conditions and obtain the first parameter;
[0061] S200: Based on the test conditions and the first parameter, set the switching period of the high-temperature reverse bias test and the power cycle test, and set the initial state;
[0062] S300: Based on the switching period and the initial state, make a first judgment on the number of cycles of the device under test;
[0063] S400: Based on the result of the first judgment, select to perform a power cycle test or a high-temperature reverse bias test;
[0064] S500: The test ends when device aging failure is detected during power cycle testing or high-temperature reverse bias testing, or after all preset test cycles are completed.
[0065] It should be noted that through steps S100 - S500, two test functions are integrated onto one platform, making full use of device resources and reducing the capital expenditure required to purchase two independent test devices. In addition, since only one system needs to be maintained and supported, the long-term operating cost is also reduced. The space occupied by a single integrated platform is much smaller than that of two independent test machines. The multi-functional integrated platform also means that the test time can be flexibly arranged according to requirements, thus better managing the space resources and time resources of the laboratory. In terms of the operation process, technicians only need to be familiar with one set of operating systems and interfaces, which can reduce training time and improve work efficiency. At the same time, performing two types of tests on the same platform enhances data consistency and provides a more reliable result comparison, especially in tests that require correlative analysis of power cycle results and high-temperature reverse bias tests.
[0066] Embodiment 2
[0067] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , as an embodiment of the present invention, based on the previous embodiment, a method for coupling power cycle and high-temperature reverse bias testing of semiconductor devices is provided, including:
[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, setting the test conditions and obtaining the first parameter in step S100 include:
[0069] Using a constant temperature device to heat the device to a specified temperature and obtaining the relationship curve between the junction temperature and saturation voltage drop of the device under test;
[0070] The first parameter includes the cycle period, heating time, cooling time, maximum junction temperature, minimum junction temperature of the power cycle, the test duration, test voltage, and storage temperature of the high-temperature reverse bias test, the initial saturation voltage drop and initial thermal resistance value of the device.
[0071] Determine the test conditions before the experiment and input the corresponding failure setting value to facilitate determining the judgment condition for device aging failure. When the saturation voltage drop or thermal resistance value exceeds the failure setting value during the test, the test stops and a failure notice is issued.
[0072] In another possible implementation, when heating the device under test to the specified temperature, a PID temperature control system can be used, setting the heating rate to 5°C / min until the target temperature is reached; thermocouple sensors are arranged on the front and back surfaces of the device to monitor the temperature change in real time: if the temperature fluctuation exceeds ±0.5°C, the heating power is automatically adjusted; according to the heat capacity and heat dissipation characteristics of the device, optimize the heating time so that the device is stable at the target temperature for at least 5 minutes before testing.
[0073] When obtaining the junction temperature - saturation voltage drop relationship curve, measurement points can be set every 10 °C within the junction temperature range of the device (such as 25 °C to 150 °C); in a constant temperature environment, by adjusting the load current (such as 10 mA, 100 mA, 500 mA), measure the saturation voltage drop (VCE) of the device; use a high - precision digital multimeter (such as Keysight 34461A) to record data, ensuring that the measurement accuracy is within ±0.1%.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, in the above - mentioned step S200, based on the test conditions and the first parameter, set the switching period of the high - temperature reverse bias test and the power cycle test. The set initial state includes:
[0075] According to the test duration of the high - temperature reverse bias and the cycle period of the power cycle, evenly distribute the switching period of the two tests of the device under test, namely the high - temperature reverse bias test and the power cycle test;
[0076] Exemplarily, for example, after the device under test undergoes 100 cycles of power cycle test, it switches to the high - temperature reverse bias test. After 100 cycles of power cycle test are carried out on other branches, the device under test switches back to the power cycle test, and so on.
[0077] As Figure 2 shown, it is the topological diagram of the power cycle and high - temperature reverse bias coupling test circuit of the semiconductor device, where T1 and T2 are measurement branch switches, T3 is an auxiliary device, DUT is the device under test, S1 is the switch in series with the DC voltage source, and V is the voltage of the DC voltage source.
[0078] Set the drive pulse signals for controlling IGBTs T1 and T2 according to the cycle period, heating time, and cooling time of the power cycle; set the mechanical relay switches S1 and S2 and the gate drive pulses of the device under test and the auxiliary IGBT T3 according to the switching period of the two tests.
[0079] It should be noted that IGBT represents Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor.
[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, in the above - mentioned step S300, based on the switching period and the initial state, the first judgment on the number of cycles of the device under test includes:
[0081] Judge whether the number of cycles of the device under test undergoing the power cycle test is less than the number of switching periods to obtain the first judgment result;
[0082] In another possible implementation, use a single - chip microcomputer (such as STM32) or FPGA to implement the counting of the number of cycles; every time a power cycle test is completed, the counter is incremented by 1.
[0083] In the embodiments of the present application, the selection of performing a power cycle test or a high-temperature reverse bias test based on the result of the first judgment in step S400 includes:
[0084] When the result of the first judgment indicates that the number of power cycle test cycles of the device under test is less than the switching period number, a power cycle test is performed;
[0085] Specifically, the power cycle test includes:
[0086] Measure and store the saturation voltage drop, case surface temperature, virtual junction temperature, test current, saturation voltage drop, current power cycle number of the device under test during the power cycle test, the test duration, voltage value, temperature and leakage current of the device under test during the high-temperature reverse bias;
[0087] Obtain the drive pulse signals of the switches of each test branch;
[0088] In the initial state, switch S1 is open, S2 is closed, and auxiliary IGBT T3 is off, ready to perform the power cycle test.
[0089] According to the measured saturation voltage drop of the device under test at a small current, combined with the junction temperature - saturation voltage drop relationship curve, obtain the junction temperature of the device under test, and calculate the power loss according to the load current and the saturation voltage drop of the device under test at the load current, expressed as:
[0090] P V =V CE ·I Load
[0091] where, P V represents the power loss, I Load represents the load current, and V CE represents the saturation voltage drop of the device under test at the load current.
[0092] Determine the cyclic thermal resistance of the device under test according to the junction temperature, power loss and case surface temperature of the device under test, expressed as:
[0093]
[0094] where, R thjhs represents the cyclic thermal resistance of the device under test, T j represents the junction temperature of the device under test, and T C represents the case surface temperature.
[0095] Perform a second judgment: determine whether the device under test is aged and failed;
[0096] Specifically, when the measured thermal resistance and the measured saturation voltage drop exceed the failure set value, the device under test is aged and failed, otherwise, the device is not failed.
[0097] Exemplarily, for different criteria for device aging failure in power cycle testing, the corresponding thresholds are different. In the AQG324 standard, when the saturation voltage drop under load current rises by 5%, the bonding wire is considered to have failed, and when the thermal resistance rises by 20%, the solder layer is considered to have failed.
[0098] When the second judgment result indicates that the device under test has failed, the high-voltage source, load current, switches S1 and S2, and the drive circuit are sequentially cut off, and the test ends.
[0099] When the second judgment result indicates that the device under test has not failed, the power cycle test continues.
[0100] When the first judgment result indicates that the number of power cycle test cycles of the device under test is greater than or equal to the switching period number, prepare to switch from the power cycle test to the high-temperature reverse bias test, and perform a third judgment: determine whether the test branch control switch T1 is turned off.
[0101] When the third judgment result indicates that the test branch switch is not turned off, continue the power cycle test until the third judgment result indicates that the test branch switch is turned off.
[0102] When the third judgment result indicates that the test branch switch is turned off, perform the test switch and start the high-temperature reverse bias test.
[0103] Specifically, the high-temperature reverse bias test includes:
[0104] Control the auxiliary IGBT T3 to conduct, disconnect the switch S2 in series with the voltage source, close the switch S1 in series with the test branch switch, and turn off the device under test; control the DC voltage source to start, and when the voltage supply of the DC voltage source is stable, obtain and record the leakage current of the device under test.
[0105] It should be noted that the leakage current of the device under test is used to draw the change curve of the leakage current of the device under test, so as to determine the device failure.
[0106] When the high-temperature environment test duration in the high-temperature reverse bias test ends, control the water cooler to cool down to the set temperature. After the water cooler reaches the stable cooling state, obtain the leakage current of the device under test and perform a fourth judgment: determine whether the device ages and fails in the high-temperature reverse bias test.
[0107] Specifically, when the leakage current of the device rises to the set threshold or shows a rapid increase, it is determined that the device ages and fails in the high-temperature reverse bias test.
[0108] It should be noted that the duration of the high-temperature environment test needs to be determined according to the test requirements of the operator before the experiment; since the constant temperature device (or water-cooling device) will experience a certain fluctuation before reaching the set temperature, when the temperature fluctuation does not exceed 2°C within 5 minutes, it is considered to reach the state of stable temperature reduction. The leakage current of the device under test is mainly used for the aging process of the device under test in the high-temperature reverse bias test, and the coupling test results need to be compared and analyzed in combination with the test results of three groups of experiments: power cycling, power cycling + high-temperature gate bias, and high-temperature gate bias.
[0109] When the fourth judgment result indicates that the device fails due to aging in the high-temperature reverse bias test, the high-voltage source, load current, switches S1 and S2, and the drive circuit are sequentially cut off to end the test;
[0110] When the fourth judgment result indicates that the device does not fail due to aging in the high-temperature reverse bias test, the DC voltage source is controlled to turn off. After the DC voltage source is stable in voltage reduction, the third judgment is performed;
[0111] When the third judgment result indicates that the test branch switch is not turned off, no action is taken until the third judgment result indicates that the test branch switch is turned off;
[0112] When the third judgment result indicates that the test branch control switch T1 is turned off, the auxiliary device T3 is controlled to turn off, the switch S1 in series with the voltage source is closed, and the switch S2 in series with the test branch switch is opened, so that the device under test is turned on, and preparations are made for the power cycling experiment.
[0113] In another possible implementation manner, if it is detected that the device fails due to aging, the high-voltage source, load current, switches S1 and S2, and the drive circuit are automatically cut off, and a failure notice is issued.
[0114] If all the preset test cycles are completed, the test data is automatically saved, all power supplies are cut off, and a test completion notice is issued.
[0115] Python or MATLAB is used to analyze the test data to generate a test report, including the thermal resistance change curve, leakage current change curve, and failure analysis results of the device.
