The negative terminal, negative terminal overcharge power supply overshoot capacitors at the positive and negative terminals The other end is connected to the output terminal of the negative overshoot circuit.
[0019] The above technical solution utilizes a positive overshoot capacitor supplied with power. and negative overshoot capacitor Energy storage and charging are achieved by discharging a large instantaneous current during switching of the transistor. This is accomplished through a combination of capacitors and power supply polarity.

Connected to the power supply At both ends, power supply The positive terminal is connected to the input terminal of the positive overshoot circuit. The output terminal of the positive overshoot circuit is connected to the drain of the first test tube S1.

The source of the second test tube S2 is connected to the input terminal of the negative overshoot circuit. The output terminal of the negative overshoot circuit is connected to the source of the DUT and connected to a power supply. The negative electrode.
[0053] When the first test tube S1 is turned on and the second test tube S2 is turned off When the first test tube S1 is off and the second test tube S2 is on, It is located at a low level. Specifically, the voltage across the second test tube S2 is... The two ends of the device under test (DUT) are , yes The hysteresis waveform after RL filtering and DUT response. When the first auxiliary test tube S1 is on and the second auxiliary test tube S2 is off, the positive overshoot circuit outputs a positive overshoot voltage; when the first auxiliary test tube S1 is off and the second auxiliary test tube S2 is on, the negative overshoot circuit outputs a reverse overshoot voltage. Bus capacitor. Used to suppress uncontrollable switching oscillations, absorb high-frequency oscillation energy, and reduce... and The edge spikes protect the DUT from uncontrollable voltage surges.
[0054] More specifically, the positive overshoot circuit includes the positive overshoot power supply. Positive charging control transistor S3 and positive overshoot capacitor The positive charging control transistor S3 is a MOSFET. The input terminals of the positive overshoot circuit are connected to the positive overshoot power supply. overshoot capacitors at the negative and positive terminals One end, positive overcharge power supply The positive terminal is connected to the drain of the positive charging control transistor S3, and the source of the positive charging control transistor S3 is connected to the positive overshoot capacitor.

[0056] Since passive DHTRB testing requires generating a steep reverse bias voltage on the DUT, i.e., a high dV / dt is needed, and When the first test tube S1 and the second test tube S2 switch at high speed, they can release or absorb large current pulses to the DUT, supporting the switching action of the switching transistor. An overshoot voltage is applied to the changing rising and falling edges of the waveform, thereby ensuring that the voltage change rate across the DUT meets the test requirements, thus applying a dV / dt voltage stress to the DUT that meets the test requirements. The positive charging control transistor S3 and the negative charging control transistor S4 are used to control the positive overshoot capacitor. and negative overshoot capacitor The charging process is controlled to adjust the voltage waveform signal.
[0057] It should also be noted that the rate of decrease of the positive overshoot voltage depends on the positive overshoot capacitor. The magnitude of the reverse overshoot voltage and the recovery speed depend on the negative overshoot capacitor. The size of the positive overshoot capacitor is therefore usually determined by the size of the positive overshoot capacitor. and negative overshoot capacitor By selecting a capacitor with a relatively small capacitance value, rapid discharge can be achieved, and a high dV / dt can be obtained without a large overshoot voltage.

For example, in this embodiment, the material of the MOSFET is silicon carbide.
[0059] Example 2:
[0060] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The passive DHTRB testing method for performance optimization according to the embodiments of this application will be described.
[0061] Step 1: Turn on the first test tube S1.
[0062] Step 2: When the first test tube S1 is turned on, the negative terminal charging control tube S4 is turned on to charge the negative terminal overshoot capacitor. Charge the device until it reaches the preset voltage, then disconnect the negative terminal charging control transistor S4.

[0066] Repeat the above steps to output a voltage signal with an overshoot voltage waveform to the device under test (DUT).
[0067] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
[0068] More specifically, in the above passive DHTRB test method, the conduction time of the first test tube S1 is... The conduction time of the second test tube S2 is , and There is a dead time interval between them. Dead time It can prevent shoot-through short circuits, protect the switching transistors and capacitors, and suppress... Oscillations are avoided, thereby improving the stability and reliability of test data. In embodiments of this application, to simplify testing and calculation, [the following is implemented]: .
[0069] When the first auxiliary test tube S1 is turned on, the time when the second auxiliary test tube S2 is turned off can be used to turn on the negative terminal charging control tube S4 to form a charging circuit and charge the negative terminal overshoot capacitor. Charge without affecting This affects the test. Similarly, by turning on the second auxiliary test tube S2, the time when the first auxiliary test tube S1 is off can be used to turn on the positive charging control tube S3 to form a charging circuit, which then charges the positive overshoot capacitor. Charging will not cause The test has an impact. It should be noted that after turning on the first test tube S1, a waiting period is required. As an isolation time interval, the negative charging control transistor S4 is turned on again to ensure that the charging circuit is properly connected. The test section is not affected, and the conduction time of the negative electrode charging control transistor S4 is , This ensures that the time for forming the charging circuit falls within the conduction time range of the first auxiliary test tube S1. Similarly, the waiting time after turning on the second auxiliary test tube S2 is... Then turn on the positive charging control transistor S3. The on-time of the positive charging control transistor S3 is: , Similarly, in the embodiments of this application, making .

This facilitates precise setting of the voltage stress of the DUT during the test period according to the test objectives and requirements.
[0071] In another embodiment, before the first test tube S1 is turned on for the first time, the positive overshoot capacitor is... Pre-charge ( Before the moment (, when the first test tube S1 is turned on for the first time, the positive overshoot capacitor) Capable of outputting positive overshoot voltage .

[0073] At time t2, the second test tube S2 is turned on. At time t3, the positive charging control tube S3 is turned on, and the positive overcharge power supply... Positive overshoot capacitor Charging, will Charge to the preset voltage. Then turn off the positive charging control transistor S3.
[0074] At time t4, the first test tube S1 is turned on. The initial voltage across the terminals is Then it drops to the platform voltage. This forms a waveform with a rising edge. The principle of falling edge is similar to that of rising edge, and will not be elaborated here. The circled parts in the waveform diagram represent the waveform of the overshoot voltage, specifically the rising and falling edges.

It can be seen that there is a significant difference in dV / dt between the two, as shown by the red line. The slope of the former is significantly higher than that of the latter, indicating that a larger dV / dt voltage stress intensity can be applied to the DUT during the test period.
