Description

Technical Field

[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor material with excellent performance. Compared with traditional silicon materials, SiC has higher breakdown voltage, lower conduction loss, higher thermal conductivity and a wider operating temperature range. Therefore, SiC MOSFET shows great advantages in high-power, high-frequency and high-temperature applications, and is widely used in electric vehicles, renewable energy, industrial power supplies, variable frequency drives and power electronics.

[0003] Due to the high voltage, high current, and high temperature characteristics of SiC MOSFETs, test equipment needs to withstand relatively harsh working environments. However, the accuracy and stability of existing test equipment under high voltage and high current are still limited. Under extreme working conditions, existing measurement equipment may have errors or unstable readings. Especially at high temperatures, the temperature drift effect of the device may cause inaccurate test results. Multiple static and dynamic tests need to be performed multiple times separately, especially when testing under different temperature, current, and voltage conditions. The entire test process often takes a long time, and existing test plans and equipment often require manual adjustment and reconfiguration, resulting in low test automation and efficiency.

[0019] like Figure 9 As shown, the test circuit module includes HTRB high temperature reverse bias test module, HTRB high temperature gate bias test module, DRB dynamic reverse bias test module, DGB dynamic gate bias test module, and PC power cycle test module: High-temperature reverse bias testing is mainly used to verify the leakage current of the chip under long-term stability. The test object is the weakness or degradation effect of the IGBT edge structure and passivation layer. The test standard is: IEC60747-9, and the test conditions are: 1000 hours, 95% VCE (max), 125°C <Tc<145C; The high-temperature gate reverse bias test is mainly used to verify the stability of the gate leakage current. The test object is the IGBT gate oxide layer. The test standard is IEC60747-9. The test conditions are: 1000 hours, VGE = +20V (both the + and - directions need to be tested, with half of the samples tested in each direction), Tj = Tj (max); High temperature and high humidity reverse bias test, also known as double 85 test, is mainly used to test the effect of humidity on the long-term characteristics of power devices.

The current is then turned off, and the sample actively cools to its lowest temperature. Cycle times are relatively short, lasting only a few seconds. During thermal expansion, the pins connecting the chip and the solder connections to the DCB are subject to the greatest stress, as the chip is at its highest temperature. Test standard: IEC60749-34, test conditions: ATj = 100K, for a total of 20,000 cycles.

At the same time, the isolation plates 11 are evenly distributed on the top of the horizontal plate 12, and the diameter gradually decreases, so that the sample to be tested 9 placed inside can be multi-partitioned, and thus it can have a better isolation effect when testing in a high temperature environment, and the output cold air can have a better cooling effect, so that the SiC The MOSFET dynamic and static characteristics test device not only has a good multiple separation effect when in use, but also has a good cooling effect.

[0028] In summary, silicon carbide is a semiconductor material with excellent performance. Compared with traditional silicon materials, SiC has higher breakdown voltage, lower conduction loss, higher thermal conductivity and wider operating temperature range. By starting the drive motor 15, the rotating rod 16 connected to the output end rotates, so that the rotating rod 16 can rotate the rotating rod 17 through the connected bevel gear set 18 when rotating, and then the rotating rod 17 can rotate the connected first gear 19 when rotating, so that the first gear 19 can move the isolation plate 11 through the rack 21 when rotating, so that the isolation plate 11 can protect the placed sample 9 to be tested, and the number of isolation plates 11 is three, so that multiple separations can be achieved, and the cold air delivered is input into the interior of the isolation plate 11 through the connecting pipe 24, so that it not only has better multiple isolation effects during testing, but also has better cooling effects.
