Background technology
The active area heat is concentrated when electronic devices and components or functional module work, and temperature rise is the key factor that influences its characteristic, reliability and life-span.Because the active area zone is little, measure relatively difficulty of its working temperature.Method commonly used has, the infrared measurement of temperature method, and the electrical parameter method, liquid crystal display and luminescent spectrum move method etc.Infrared measurement of temperature method and liquid crystal displays can the measured chip surface temperature distribution, may bring destruction to the encapsulation of device.Luminescent spectrum moves the method thermometric, and measured device itself must possess the characteristics of luminescence, is not suitable for non-luminous microelectronic component.The electrical parameter method can make things convenient for the temperature rise of rapid measuring element active area, but for most of device, the temperature sensitive parameter of extractible thermometric is very limited, and individual devices also will be equipped with expensive dedicated test circuit and equipment.
This method is utilized under the vacuum insulation environment, during by collection electronic devices and components or functional module operate as normal, the temperature rising curve of two-end-point (forward) on the heat dissipation path, and after the heating of device radiating end constant power, gather the temperature rise curve (oppositely) of measuring two-end-point once more, acquisition device is forward and reverse respectively applies under the constant power heating condition, and device reaches equilibrium temperature and distributes required heat time heating time, and promptly acquisition device steady operation thermograde is set up process heating heat respectively.Measure temperature under the electronic devices and components normal running conditions thus.
Present technique can be widely used in the electronic devices and components and the functional module of any packing forms, and measuring method is simple, accurately, is applicable to that the production of electron device is measured, and research, development field.
Summary of the invention
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is: the temperature rise of active area is the important parameter of its life-span of decision and reliability during the electronic devices and components operate as normal.Utilize under the vacuum environment, the accurate measurement steady state temperature gradient is set up process institute heat requirement, and a kind of method of measuring semiconductor devices work temperature rise is provided.
Principle of work of the present invention
Electronic devices and components are made up of tube core, heat sink, scolder and shell usually.Under the atmospheric environment, heat is produced by device active region, flow through heat sink, shell to around environment leave.When the heat of active area generation equated with the heat of dissipation, after after a while, Temperature Distribution reached a kind of steady state (SS) on the device, formed by thermal source to shell Temperature Distribution from high to low.After device power source was connected, active area temperature rising transient process synoptic diagram was seen Fig. 1. Curve 1 and 2 is respectively the electronic devices and components operate as normal among the figure, and thermal source is positioned at the temperature transient state upcurve of device heat radiation bottom.Because thermal resistance is certain between the semiconductor devices two-end-point, the temperature rise that reaches stable state is certain, but the asynchronism(-nization) that needs.
After electronic devices and components being put into a vacuum system since around dispel the heat the road through interrupting, the heat that active area produces can only be by heat exchange pattern to the shell transmission.At this moment, the active area temperature constantly raises, and thermograde strengthens.When heat be transmitted to the encapsulation shell end, heat no longer includes the road warp of dissipation, the temperature difference of keeping active area and shell end is constant, bulk temperature promotes (when device temperature is not too high, can ignore heat loss through radiation) rapidly.If place the thermometric temperature sensing element at two diverse locations of device (one of them for heat radiation terminal), 2 temperature rise processes are seen the curve 1 and 2 in the synoptic diagram 2.
When these 2 temperature differences begin the constant moment, be thermal source and finish constantly to the foundation of case temperature gradient.Curve 3 among Fig. 2 promptly is the measurement curve of 2 temperature differences.Components and parts operate as normal, its active area are thermal source, set up process from active area to the case temperature gradient, are called forward heating process.Difference curve begins constant time t1, is the stable state temperature rise and sets up the required time.Operating power P multiply by t1, is to set up the heat requirement Q1=P*t1 of this thermograde institute.
When applying the same electrical power P in the encapsulation tube shell bottom by heating sheet, the bottom is a fire end at this moment, and is terminal for heat radiation above, two check point temperature uphill process after the measurement energized.When 2 temperature difference reach constant moment t2, be from encapsulating tube shell bottom to finish to the thermograde foundation of active area.We claim that this process is reverse heating process.Because device two ends thermal resistance reciprocity, the temperature difference of twice temperature rise process equates.In general, the thermal capacitance of component pipe core active area end is little, and the thermal capacitance of shell end is big.Therefore, reach the required heating power difference of the same temperature difference, i.e. t2>t1, Q2=P*t2, for the second time thermograde set up institute's heat requirement.
In forward heating process and the reverse heating process, the temperature space from high temperature to low temperature distributes and presents complementary state.Be after temperature reaches steady-state distribution, thermal source temperature space distribution curve on the heat dissipation path of substrate occurs complementary.See synoptic diagram 3.Say that physically the cartographic represenation of area that curve and position coordinates constitute is set up steady-state distribution institute heat requirement.Forward heating and oppositely to heat institute's heat requirement different, but both sums are and make components and parts integral body evenly reach active area temperature time institute heat requirement.
The formed thermograde of forward and reverse heating process is identical, and promptly thermal resistance is identical.Forward and reverse thermograde is set up the heat requirement addition of process institute, and promptly P* (t1+t2) is injected in the device, under the vacuum environment, does not have the loss of heat, and total system reaches the temperature behind the uniform balance, the temperature when being exactly the device operate as normal.
Technical scheme of the present invention is described below:

(7) when energized 8, trigger measurement of A/D collection plate and record thermo-sensitive resistor A3 and thermo-sensitive resistor B5 change procedure in time simultaneously, difference by two thermo-sensitive resistor measured values becomes when constant, obtains and establishes the thermograde required time t1 of source region to the heat radiation end points;
(8) pass through methods such as vacuum system inflations, the measured device temperature is no longer changed, again by heating power supply 9 heating heating sheets 4, trigger A/D collection plate 6 simultaneously, measure and write down thermo-sensitive resistor A3 and thermo-sensitive resistor B5 change procedure in time, by the constant time t2 of difference that asks two thermo-sensitive resistor measured values, be and set up the thermograde required time of heat radiation end points to active area;

Set up under the too short situation of equilibrium temperature gradient time at measured device, can reduce add the dutycycle of power, reduce heat that measured device is heated up, t1, t2 time are extended, reduce measuring error;
This method does not require the packing forms of semiconductor devices or functional module, and belongs to nondestructive testing.Device or the functional module that can't measure for some routine measurement junction temperature technology particularly, this method more can demonstrate its applicability and advance.
