When used, the packaging reliability of the SiC power device in various complex application scenarios can be fully considered to realize the accurate detection of the packaging reliability of the SiC power device in the multi-physical field coupling scenario. Thus, the technical problem that the packaging reliability detection method of the SiC power device in the prior art only relies on a single physical parameter for measurement when detecting, so that it is difficult to comprehensively and accurately reflect the packaging reliability of the SiC power device in the complex application scenario is solved.
[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.
[0043] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment provides a SiC power device package reliability detection method, applied to a SiC power device package reliability detection system, and the SiC power device can be SiC MOSFET / diode, etc. The detection method specifically includes the following steps:
[0044] A COMSOL Multiphysics software is used to build or import a geometric model of the SiC power device, set SiC power device parameters, set boundary conditions, loads and typical failure modes of the model, and perform mesh division and solution settings to obtain a multi-physical field coupling finite element model.
[0045] In the above steps, the setting of the SiC power device parameters can include setting the thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the packaging material at different temperatures, and the corresponding SiC power device parameters can be set according to actual needs by those skilled in the art during actual application; the thermal conductivity of the packaging material at different temperatures is obtained by laser flash method.
[0046] In some embodiments, the specific setting of the SiC power device parameters is as follows:
[0047]
[0048] In the above steps, the boundary conditions can be thermal boundary, electrical boundary, and mechanical boundary; the boundary conditions can be set according to actual needs by those skilled in the art during actual application.
[0049] In some embodiments, the boundary conditions and loads can be set as follows:
[0050] Thermal boundary: forced air cooling or liquid cooling is used, the convective heat transfer coefficient is set to 50-200 W / (m²·K), and the environmental temperature is set to 25-85℃;
[0051] Electrical boundary: for SiC MOSFET, the drain-source voltage Vds is set to 0-1200V, and the gate-source voltage Vgs is set to -5-20V;
[0052] Mechanical boundary: the substrate fixed edge displacement constraint is 0, and the power terminal is subjected to periodic vibration load (frequency 10-200Hz, acceleration 2-5g);
[0053] Load step: thermal cycling is performed, the temperature range is -40℃-150℃, the temperature rising rate is 10℃ / min, electromigration test is performed, direct current or pulse current is used, and the duty cycle is 50%-100%.
[0054] The typical failure modes include solder layer crack, thermal resistance degradation, and wire pull-off. The failure of the solder layer crack is determined by obtaining a strain concentration area in a thermal-mechanical stress simulation, the failure of the thermal resistance degradation is determined by obtaining a simulation thermal resistance parameter, and the failure of the wire pull-off is determined by obtaining a wire area stress analysis in an electro-thermal coupling simulation.
[0055] An initial simulation data is obtained by running a multi-physics coupling finite element model, and a parameter sensitivity analysis is performed on the initial simulation data to determine a key stress parameter combination of a typical failure mode.
[0056] The simulation analysis of obtaining the initial simulation data by running the multi-physics coupling finite element model is achieved by simultaneously solving the following equation groups:
[0057] (1);
[0058] (2);
[0059] (3);
[0060] In formula (1), is a stress tensor; is a strain tensor; T is a temperature field; in formula (2), is a temperature-dependent thermal conductivity; is a gradient temperature; is a Joule heat source term; is a thermoelastic heat source term; in formula (3), J is a current density; is an electrical conductivity; E is an electric field intensity; v is a carrier drift velocity; and B is a magnetic induction intensity.
[0061] Equation describes the deformation of the packaging material under stress, wherein the relationship between the stress tensor and the strain tensor reflects the elastic correlation of the material, and provides basic data of structural deformation for subsequent thermal and electrical physical field analysis.
[0062] Equation describes the heat conduction process in the material, the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity represents the change of the thermal conductivity with temperature, and the gradient temperature represents the spatial change rate of the temperature. The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and the gradient temperature can accurately simulate the heat transfer in different temperature regions, and the Joule heat source term and the thermoelastic heat source term introduce the effects of the electric and force fields on the thermal field.
[0063] Equation factors such as electric field, carrier drift velocity, and magnetic induction intensity are combined to obtain the current density. The Joule heat source term is calculated by the current density and the electric field intensity, which reflects the heat generated when the current passes through the material.
[0064] In the process of current passing through the device, the current density can be calculated by formula (3), and the Joule heat source term Q joule can be calculated by the current density and the electric field intensity. joule The obtained Joule heat source term Q piezo is fed back to formula (2) and drives formula (2) to cause the change of the temperature gradient, and the change of the temperature gradient causes the change of the temperature field T, and the change of the temperature field drives the change of the stress tensor and the strain tensor in formula (1), and then causes the thermal stress generated by thermal expansion and contraction of the material, so that the thermoelastic heat source term Q piezo is calculated and obtained. piezo For most packaging materials, under adiabatic or high-speed deformation conditions, when the material is rapidly compressed, the temperature will rise; when it is rapidly stretched, the temperature will decrease. This part of the thermal effect caused by the volume change is the thermoelastic effect. The thermoelastic heat source term Q piezo is obtained and fed back to formula (2). Because the conductivity is a function of temperature, when the temperature field T changes in the above process, it will also act on the conductivity in formula (3), so that the current density in formula (3) changes again. As can be seen, by solving the above three equations, the cyclic coupling process of “electricity generates heat→heat-induced force→force generates heat” is completely covered. Instead of isolated analysis of a single physical field, the synchronous iterative calculation of multiple physical fields is realized, which can better fit the actual situation of mutual influence of multiple fields, improve the accuracy of model prediction, and provide an important reference for the design and optimization of SiC power devices.
[0065] The initial simulation data obtained by solving the above equation set for multi-physical field coupling finite element simulation is the direct input for subsequent parameter sensitivity analysis. The initial simulation data includes the physical quantity distribution parameters of the entire SiC power device packaging structure in space directly output by the coupled simulation and the parameters calculated to quantify the failure risk, and the two types of parameters are specifically:
[0066] 1. The physical quantity distribution parameters of the entire SiC power device packaging structure in space directly output by the coupled simulation mainly include:
[0067] Temperature field (T): solved by the above heat conduction equation (2), used to identify overheating areas and calculate temperature gradients;
[0068] Stress field (σ) and strain field (ε): solved by the above mechanical equilibrium equation (1), used to locate the mechanical stress / strain concentration area caused by thermal expansion mismatch;
[0069] Current density field (J): solved by the above current field equation (3), used to identify current crowding effect and high Joule heat area;
[0070] 2、 The calculated parameters for quantifying failure risk are based on the above-mentioned physical field distribution parameters and are determined / calculated according to the determination criteria of typical failure modes. These parameters include solder layer cracks, thermal resistance degradation, and wire disconnection, which are direct target response quantities for parameter sensitivity analysis. The determination / calculating process of each parameter for quantifying failure risk is as follows:
[0071] For solder layer cracks: the maximum equivalent strain of the solder layer is extracted from the strain field (ε) to determine the strain concentration area;
[0072] For thermal resistance degradation: the difference between the chip junction temperature and the shell temperature is calculated according to the temperature field (T) data, and combined with the input power to obtain the simulated thermal resistance value, i.e., the simulated thermal resistance parameter;
[0073] For wire disconnection: the maximum principal stress or shear stress is extracted from the stress field (σ) in the bonding area to analyze the stress in the bonding area;
[0074] After obtaining the above initial simulation data, the failure reference state under a certain set of fixed input parameters is obtained. Subsequently, parameter sensitivity analysis can be performed on the initial simulation data to determine the key stress parameter combination of the typical failure mode. The specific process is as follows: a stress parameter sampling matrix is designed by the Morris global sensitivity analysis method. The stress parameters include physical variables that affect the failure time of the SiC power device, including temperature-related parameters such as environmental temperature, junction temperature, and shell temperature, current-related parameters such as device operating current and current density, voltage-related parameters such as drain-source voltage and gate-source voltage, thermal cycle number, mechanical stress caused by packaging layer stress mismatch, and the like. Those skilled in the art can design the stress parameter sampling matrix according to actual needs. In some embodiments, the temperature can be 80℃ / 120℃ / 150℃, the current can be 10A / 20A / 30A, and the thermal cycle can be 100 times / 500 times / 1000 times. After the design is completed, the failure time data corresponding to each set of stress parameters is obtained by performing a coupled simulation once by changing one stress parameter in the stress parameter sampling matrix. Then, the normalized sensitivity coefficient of the failure time with respect to each changed stress parameter is calculated to determine the key stress parameter combination of the typical failure mode. The formula for calculating the sensitivity coefficient is as follows:
[0075] ;
[0076] wherein, is the sensitivity coefficient; is the failure time variation; Y is the reference failure time; is the variation of the i-th stress parameter; is the reference value of the i-th stress parameter;
[0077] Firstly, the reference value corresponding to the i-th stress parameter needs to be set according to the actual application scenario or the specification of the SiC power device and the stress parameter variation ; for example, the temperature reference value can be set to 25℃, and the current reference value to 10A. The stress parameter variation is a percentage or absolute value of the reference value, for example, the temperature variation is ±50℃, and the current variation is ±5A. When calculating the sensitivity coefficient, the reference failure time is obtained by finite element simulation, then a single stress parameter is changed, the failure time variation is obtained by re-simulation, and the corresponding value is brought into the formula to obtain the normalized sensitivity coefficient. When , it is determined that the stress parameter is a key stress parameter. The Morris global sensitivity analysis method can efficiently identify the stress parameter that has the greatest impact on the failure time, providing key guidance for optimization design and improving reliability, which helps to shorten the development cycle of SiC power devices and reduce costs. By determining the key stress parameter combination, targeted monitoring and protection of these areas can be strengthened to reduce the risk of failure and improve the service life and reliability of the device.
[0078] The above-mentioned Morris global sensitivity analysis method is a sensitivity analysis method based on "one factor at a time" variation, which evaluates the importance of parameters by calculating the normalized sensitivity coefficient of each stress parameter to the failure time. In this method, each stress parameter varies within a certain range while keeping other parameters constant, and the degree of influence of the parameter on the failure time is determined by observing the variation of the failure time. The greater the sensitivity coefficient, the more significant the impact of the parameter on the failure time, and thus it is determined as a key stress parameter.
[0079] In some embodiments, the key stress parameter combination of the typical failure mode of the SiC power device needs to cover the thermal-electric-mechanical multi-physical field coupling effect, specifically including at least the following parameters and typical combinations:
[0080] Single parameter: temperature, junction temperature, shell temperature, current density, device operating current, area, voltage, drain-source voltage Vds, gate-source voltage Vgs, number of thermal cycles, number of temperature fluctuation cycles, mechanical stress, inter-package stress caused by thermal expansion coefficient mismatch.
[0081] Combined parameters:
[0082] Temperature-current interaction: high temperature + high current to accelerate electromigration failure;
[0083] Temperature-thermal cycle interaction: temperature fluctuation + high temperature to cause solder layer fatigue;
[0084] Current-mechanical stress interaction: joule heat under high current density aggravates thermal stress.
[0085] The working parameters of the SiC power device in the running state are collected, the working parameters are calibrated in real time, then the working parameters calibrated in real time are time-aligned with the simulation data, the environmental noise in the working parameters is eliminated by using a wavelet threshold denoising algorithm to obtain measured data; in the process of collecting the working parameters of the SiC power device, the key area of the SiC power device is located by using a dynamic area tracking technology, and a temperature gradient map of the key area of the SiC power device is generated according to the measured data.
[0086] In the above steps, the process of collecting the working parameters of the SiC power device includes arranging temperature sensors, current sensors and voltage sensors at key positions of the SiC power device to collect the working temperature, current and voltage of the SiC power device in real time and obtain the working parameters. The key positions are positions with significant thermal-mechanical coupling and the highest failure risk obtained from the previous multi-physical field coupling simulation and parameter sensitivity analysis, including the solder layer between the chip and the substrate due to CTE mismatch, the power terminal bonding area due to high current density, the center of the chip surface with a power density of >500 W / cm2, the package edge corner with mechanical stress concentration and the gate driving position with voltage spikes due to high frequency switching.
[0087] Since the electrical parameters such as working current and voltage of the SiC power device are generally less affected by the outside during the working process, and the temperature parameter is greatly affected by the environment, the real-time calibration of the working parameters is generally the real-time calibration of the temperature parameter in the working parameters, and the real-time calibration method used is an environmental radiation compensation algorithm for real-time calibration of the temperature in the working parameters. The specific process is as follows: in the process of collecting the temperature parameters of the SiC power device, a dual-color infrared thermometer is integrated to measure the radiation intensity at different wavelengths, and then the blackbody radiation law is used to calculate and calibrate the measured temperature, so as to realize the real-time calibration of the measured temperature of the SiC power device to eliminate the influence of the environmental temperature. The real-time calibration of the measured temperature is realized by the following formula:
[0088] ;
[0089] In the formula, is the corrected true temperature; is the second radiation constant; , is the central wavelength of the dual-wavelength filter; , is the emissivity of the packaging material corresponding to the central wavelength; , is the blackbody radiation spectral density; T is the temperature.
[0090] In the above correction formula, the corrected true temperature is calculated by the center wavelength of the dual-wavelength filter, the emissivity of the packaging material at the corresponding wavelength, the blackbody radiation spectral density, and the second radiation constant. The dual-color infrared temperature measurement method measures the radiation intensity at two wavelengths simultaneously and uses the radiation characteristics at these two wavelengths to eliminate the influence of environmental radiation on the temperature measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature measurement and ensuring the reliability of temperature data. This algorithm is suitable for temperature measurement in various complex environments and provides a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of SiC power devices.
[0091] In the above steps, the key area of the SiC power device is located by dynamic area tracking technology, and the process of generating the key area temperature gradient map of the SiC power device according to the measured data is as follows: an infrared thermometer scans several areas (e.g. 100 areas) per second, combined with image recognition to locate temperature changes, and generates a key area temperature gradient map with a temperature difference ≥ 10 ℃ / mm. The key area is the part with significant thermal-mechanical coupling and the highest failure risk obtained from the previous multi-physical field coupling simulation and parameter sensitivity analysis process, including the solder layer between the chip and the substrate due to CTE mismatch, the power terminal bonding area due to high current density, the center of the chip surface with a power density > 500 W / cm2, the packaging edge corner with mechanical stress concentration, and the gate drive area with voltage spikes due to high-frequency switching. The key area and the key position described above are actually related and progressive. The key area represents a range of areas, while the key position is a specific point position in the key area. The temperature gradient map is constructed by the following two-dimensional heat flux density formula:
[0092] ;
[0093] where, is the heat flux vector at coordinates (x, y); is the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity; , are the components of the temperature gradient in the x and y directions, respectively; i and j are unit vectors of the coordinate axes. The two-dimensional heat flux density formula can intuitively display the temperature distribution and heat flow direction in the packaging structure of the SiC power device, providing an important basis for analyzing the heat conduction path and hot spot location, and helping to optimize the thermal design of the SiC power device. By constructing the temperature gradient map, potential thermal problem areas can be identified in a timely manner, and appropriate heat dissipation measures can be taken to improve the thermal stability and reliability of the device.
[0094] The initial simulation data and the measured data are compared and analyzed by a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, and based on the comparison and analysis results, the key stress parameter combination and the key region parameters of the multi-physical field coupling finite element model are iteratively optimized until the error between the initial simulation data and the measured data is within a set range, thereby obtaining the optimized key stress parameter combination and the key region parameters of the multi-physical field coupling finite element model.
[0095] The deep reinforcement learning algorithm adopts an improved DDPG algorithm, and the action value function is updated by the following Bellman equation:
[0096]
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, The mean square error of the current Q value and the target Q value is used to measure the mean square error of the current Q value and the target Q value. The network parameters are used to measure the mean square error of the current Q value and the target Q value. The Q value of the action a selected by the current network in the state s is used to measure the Q value of the action a selected by the current network in the state s. The maximum Q value of the next state is used to calculate the target Q value. The sample in the experience replay buffer D is used to calculate the average. The feedback obtained from the environment after performing the action a is used to calculate the instant reward. The discount factor is used to weigh the importance of future rewards. The next state is used to calculate the next state. The Q value of the target network is used to calculate the Q value of the target network. The action output by the target policy network is used to calculate the action output by the target policy network. If it is a discrete action space, the action that maximizes the Q value is taken. If it is a continuous action space, the action is directly given by the policy network.
[0099] In the improved DDPG algorithm, the action value function is updated by the Bellman equation to measure the mean square error of the current Q value and the target Q value, and the experience replay buffer is used to optimize the learning process. The algorithm dynamically adjusts the key stress parameter combination and the key region parameters through continuous trial and error and optimization to improve the adaptive ability and detection efficiency of the system. The improved DDPG algorithm dynamically adjusts the key stress parameter combination and the key region parameters through continuous trial and error and optimization, improves the adaptive ability of the system, and makes the system better adapt to the detection requirements under different working conditions. The application of the Bellman equation enables the algorithm to consider the importance of future rewards, thereby making more long-term decisions and improving the overall performance and stability of the system.
[0100] When performing iterative optimization of temperature parameters, deviation comparison analysis needs to be performed, and the specific process is as follows: the temperature parameters in the measured data are taken as the heat flow boundary conditions of the multi-physical field coupling finite element model (for example, the temperature of the temperature measuring point is assigned to the corresponding grid node to replace the calculation of convective heat transfer in simulation); the deviation (for example, the root mean square error RMSE) between the measured temperature and the simulation temperature is compared, and if the deviation exceeds 5%, the thermal conductivity or convective heat transfer coefficient in the multi-physical field coupling finite element model is adjusted until the final deviation is less than 5% before performing iterative optimization of the parameters.
[0101] According to the optimized key stress parameter combination and the key region parameters of the multi-physical field coupling finite element model, final simulation data is obtained by simulation, and a failure criterion threshold is set according to the final simulation data; the set failure criterion threshold includes a warning threshold and a danger threshold. The key region temperature gradient map is input into a trend prediction model to perform trend prediction of the measured data and obtain prediction data, the prediction data is compared with the failure criterion threshold, and a multi-level response strategy is executed according to the comparison result. The multi-level response strategy includes a danger response strategy, a warning response strategy and a normal response strategy.
[0102] The specific process of comparing the prediction data with the failure criterion threshold and executing the multi-level response strategy according to the comparison result is as follows: the prediction data is compared with the danger threshold, and when the prediction data is greater than or equal to the danger threshold, the corresponding danger response strategy in the multi-level response strategy is triggered; when the prediction data is less than the danger threshold, the prediction data is compared with the warning threshold, and when the prediction data is greater than or equal to the warning threshold, the corresponding warning response strategy in the multi-level response strategy is triggered, and when the prediction data is less than the warning threshold, the corresponding normal response strategy in the multi-level response strategy is triggered, and the system is normal at this time.
[0103] The trend prediction is realized by using a sliding window time series analysis, and the state of the SiC power device is predicted by the following autoregressive moving average model:
[0104] ;
[0105] In the above formula, is the detection parameter of the time series at time t; is the coefficient of autoregression; is the historical observation value of the time series at time t-m; is the coefficient of moving average term; is the white noise error term; is the detection parameter of the white noise error term at time t-n; p and q are model orders, which are determined by minimizing the Akaike information criterion (AIC).
[0106] The sliding window time series analysis is a method for predicting future values of a time series by using an autoregressive moving average model (ARMA). In this method, the local characteristics of the time series are captured by a sliding window mechanism, and the autoregressive coefficients and moving average term coefficients are used to establish a prediction model. The white noise error term reflects the part of the variation that cannot be explained by the model, and the prediction performance of the model can be optimized by adjusting the model order (p, q). This analysis method can capture the trend of the SiC power device state in real time, providing strong support for subsequent timely warning and intervention, and helping to prevent the occurrence and development of faults. The application of the autoregressive moving average model improves the accuracy of state prediction, helps to discover potential faults in advance and take measures to avoid their occurrence, and improves the reliability and safety of the system.
[0107] The multi-level response strategy adopts a fuzzy logic control method for control, and the membership function used in the control process of the fuzzy logic control method is:
[0108] ;
[0109] In the formula, is the failure severity membership degree, the value range is ; x is the prediction data; a is the warning threshold; and b is the danger threshold.
[0110] The membership function is used to define the fuzzy set of failure severity, and the severity of the SiC power device failure is determined by comparing the prediction data with the warning threshold and the danger threshold. The membership function usually adopts a trapezoidal or triangular distribution form to reflect the influence of the prediction data on the failure severity in different intervals. The application of the membership function enables the system to more accurately evaluate the severity of the failure and make reasonable decisions accordingly, which helps to optimize the performance and reliability of the system. The fuzzy logic control method adopted in this embodiment can take corresponding response measures according to different levels of failure severity, realizing the refinement and intelligentization of fault handling, and improving the response speed and accuracy of the system.
