Description

GaN device dynamic on-resistance measuring circuit
Technical Field

Background
With the rapid development of society and the continuous progress of science and technology, semiconductor technology has become one of the high technologies which have the most influence on our lives. The core device of the switching power supply widely used for modern electronic products is a power semiconductor device, the most commonly used power semiconductor device at present mainly comprises a Si-based device, but due to parasitic parameters, the switching loss and the driving loss of the Si-based high-voltage and high-current device are more remarkable after the frequency is increased to MHz level, and the requirements of the society on energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection are improved, so that the Si-based device cannot meet the requirements of people on the electric energy conversion efficiency of power electronic devices. Due to the excellent characteristics of large forbidden band width, high breakdown electric field, high electron mobility and the like, the GaN device is very suitable for power electronic devices with high temperature, high frequency, high power and high breakdown voltage.
In a switch-mode power conversion circuit, GaN devices are continuously switched in an off state and an on state, resulting in device reliability problems. When in an off state, high voltage is applied between the drain electrode and the substrate, between the drain electrode and the source electrode and between the drain electrode and the grid electrode of the GaN device, so that failure mechanisms such as trap and time-dependent breakdown are caused; when the device is in an on state, the gate voltage is forward biased, and the high gate voltage enables the device to generate a trap or a leakage channel; in the semi-on state, the generation of hot electrons or lattice defects degrades device performance due to the presence of high voltage, high current conditions.
The dynamic on-resistance of GaN is one of the very important parameters in commercial GaN devices, and in the on-process, the increase of the dynamic resistance of GaN HEMT causes the significant increase of system loss, which further affects heat dissipation and finally affects the reliability of the system, so that research on the dynamic on-resistance is imperative, and the influence of the on-resistance change on the on-performance in practical application also needs to be urgently examined. In the on-resistance test stage of an actual device, the traditional circuit can not realize real-time measurement, and due to the lag of test time, part of defects can be recovered, so that the judgment of the on-resistance change of the GaN device in the actual switch operation is wrong, and the GaN device has serious reliability problem.
