Description

Test circuit and test method suitable for switch time test and threshold voltage test
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a test circuit and a test method suitable for a switching time test and a threshold voltage test.
Background
At present, third generation semiconductor material devices on the market, such as GaN (gallium nitride), siC (silicon carbide), etc., have too high switching speed (di/dt current rise (rate) and dv/dt voltage rise (rate)), and parasitic parameters in a test circuit can cause serious influence on a test result, so that a relay or a switch is not generally connected in a high-power loop during a switching time test.
However, since the high-power loop has a large capacitance and has no relay or switch to be turned off, when measuring the value of the VTH (threshold voltage) of the device, the measurement result of the threshold voltage and the measurement time are greatly affected. For example, currently, a customer needs to measure the VTH value of a device using a constant current of 0.25mA, and if the VTH value of the device is 6V and the capacitance used in a high power loop is 33uF, the measurement time is according to the formula:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
calculated time of day
Figure 752804DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
About 800ms, if the VTH of the device is larger, or the capacitance in the power loop is larger, the required measurement time is longer, and the time cannot meet the requirement of mass production of customers. And, if the upper limit of the measurement is 10V, in case of the device damage open circuit, a constant current of 0.25mA is used to measure the VTH value of the device, it takes 1.32s to determine the device damage.

step S101: controlling the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 to be closed, and charging the first capacitor C1 for a first preset time by adopting a first current; specifically, after the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 are closed, the constant current source IM provides a constant current output of 100mA, the constant current is a first current, the first current charges the first capacitor C1 through the second diode D2 and the first diode D1, and since the third switch K3 is not turned on at this time, the device under test DUT is in an off state, and the first current does not pass through the device under test. The first capacitor C1 is charged to a value close to the supply voltage by waiting for a first predetermined time after a delay (5 ms), and the measured value of VTH position in fig. 4 is also close to the supply voltage. Where the supply voltage value is selected to be greater than an upper limit (10V), such as 15V, set by the VTH of the device. The power supply voltage value is the power supply voltage of the constant current source IM, and the voltage of the fully charged first capacitor C1 is the power supply voltage value minus the tube voltage drops of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2.
Step S102: controlling the third switch K3 to be closed, controlling the tested device to work by adopting a second current, and acquiring a threshold voltage after a second preset time; specifically, after the third switch K3 is closed, the constant current source IM provides a constant current output (e.g., 0.25 mA) that is set by the measurement requirement, and at this time, because the voltage value of the charged first capacitor C1 is greater than the threshold voltage value of the device under test, the output current of the constant current source IM does not flow to the first capacitor C1, but only flows to the device under test, and the first diode D1 stops the first capacitor C1 from discharging onto the device under test in an inverted phase. And delaying for 1ms, namely waiting for a second preset time until the device to be tested works stably, and sampling the numerical value to a processor for data processing and judgment after the threshold voltage passes through an operational Amplifier (AMP) and a sampling chip (ADC). The acquired threshold voltage is attenuated by 10 times through an operational Amplifier (AMP), the attenuated voltage enters the input end of a sampling chip (ADC), the attenuated voltage is converted into a digital signal in the sampling chip (ADC), a processor is connected with the sampling chip (ADC) to receive the converted digital signal, and the actual VTH value is restored through calculation.
Step S103: and the first switch K1, the second switch K2 and the third switch K3 are disconnected, the second switch tube S2 is closed, and the charge in the first capacitor C1 is released by adopting a charge release circuit. The steps S101 to S103 are specifically a specific flow of the threshold voltage test, and the three steps correspond to three stages i, ii, and iii of a threshold voltage measurement timing chart in fig. 6, respectively, where the threshold voltage measurement timing chart specifically includes a curve of the change of the switching state of the second switching tube S2 with time, a curve of the switching state of the third switch K3 with time, a curve of the change of the output current of the constant current source IM with time, and a curve of the change of the voltage value VTH of the threshold voltage with time in the threshold voltage measurement process. The threshold voltage is measured by a test method of a test circuit suitable for the switching time test and the threshold voltage test, and the test time of the threshold voltage can reach within 20 ms.
According to the test method of the test circuit suitable for the switching time test and the threshold voltage test, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first capacitor is charged firstly through the first switch, the second switch and the third switch in sequence; then testing the threshold voltage of the tested device; the test time of the threshold voltage can be reduced; meanwhile, through the arrangement of the threshold voltage test circuit and the switching time test circuit, a relay or a switch is not required to be arranged in a power loop, and the testing of the switching time is not influenced.
In one embodiment, the test method of the test circuit suitable for the switch time test and the threshold voltage test comprises a switch time test, wherein the switch time test comprises the following steps: closing the first switch tube S1, and charging a first capacitor C1 by adopting a power supply circuit; closing the fourth switch K4, and controlling the tested device to be cut off after the tested device is controlled to be switched on for a third preset time by adopting the driving circuit; after the fourth preset time, the driving circuit is adopted again to control the conduction of the tested device and control the cut-off of the tested device; and (3) disconnecting the first switch tube S1, closing the second switch tube S2, and releasing the charges in the first capacitor C1 by using a charge release circuit.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, when the switching time test is performed, the following procedure is adopted: the first switch tube S1 is closed, the second Power supply HV _ Power charges the first capacitor C1, and at the moment, the second driving signal source DriverN cuts off the device to be tested; and then the first driving signal source DriverP turns on the device to be tested, the current collected by the current sensor and flowing through the device to be tested slowly rises under the inductive load, when the current collected by the current sensor and flowing through the device to be tested reaches a set value, the second driving signal source DriverN turns off the device to be tested, wherein the time of slowly rising to the preset value is a third preset time. And waiting for a fourth preset time after delaying for a period of time, wherein the current in the inductive load freewheels through the first diode D1. The device under test is turned on by using the first driving signal source DriverP and turned off by using the second driving signal source DriverN. The first switch tube S1 is turned off, and the second switch tube S2 is turned on to discharge the first capacitor C1. And sending the waveform of each stage to an upper computer through an oscilloscope for data processing to obtain the switching time. Fig. 8 is a timing chart of measurement in the switching-time test, which specifically includes a time-varying switching state curve of the first switching tube S1, a time-varying switching state curve of the second switching tube S2, a time-varying gate voltage VG of the device under test, a time-varying collector voltage VC of the device under test, and a time-varying current flowing through the device under test collected by the current sensor ICE.
It should be noted that the switching time test described above adopts a double-pulse test principle, in which the purpose of turning on the device under test for the first time is to make the current collected by the current sensor reach a set value, and the purpose of turning on the device under test for the second time is to obtain a waveform of turning on the device under test after the current collected by the current sensor reaches the set value. In the two on-off processes, the first process is only to make the current reach the set value, and the second process is to obtain the corresponding waveform to calculate the switching time.
The above embodiment shows a specific flow of the threshold voltage test and the switching time test, but when the threshold voltage test is performed on the device under test and when the switching time test is performed on the device under test, the following flow can be implemented. Namely, the test method of the test circuit suitable for the switch time test and the threshold voltage test comprises the following steps: controlling the tested device to carry out the threshold voltage test; judging whether the threshold voltage test result is in a preset range or not; when the switching time is within a preset range, controlling the tested device to carry out the switching time test; controlling the tested device to carry out the threshold voltage test again; and judging whether the tested device is damaged or not according to the threshold voltage test result.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the testing method of the testing circuit suitable for the switching time test and the threshold voltage test is implemented by adopting the following procedures: firstly testing the threshold voltage value of a tested device and confirming whether the tested device has open short circuit or not; after the threshold voltage is normal, testing the relevant parameters of the switching time; because the switching time test is a test of high voltage and large current, the tested device can be damaged when the device is poor, and therefore, after the switching time test is finished, the threshold voltage test is carried out again to confirm whether the device is damaged during the switching time test.
