Further, the detecting device 600 as shown in fig. 3 may be further provided with a fourth photo-positioning unit 640; the fourth photoelectric positioning unit 640 detects the target circuit through the resistance change OBIRCH and/or the micro light microscope EMMI induced by the laser beam, and if the calorific value and/or the light spot parameter of the target circuit exceeds the safety threshold, determines that the corresponding area has a failure structure or a failure risk; the fourth electro-optical positioning unit 640 may be further provided with at least one of a delamination/dicing process, an optical inspection process, and/or a scanning electron microscopy process; the second gate detection unit 620 may also be provided with a physical analysis PFA process.
Specifically, the drive tube circuit 930 thereof includes a motor drive circuit; the motor driving circuit can adopt a bridge driving structure; the first measuring point partition unit 610 and the second grid electrode detection unit 620 can execute operations when the chip 999 to be detected is provided with load equipment; the load equipment comprises a load motor, and the working conditions of the load motor comprise locked rotor, overvoltage of a power end, power peak and power short circuit.
The motor drive circuits include a brush dc motor drive circuit 991, a brushless dc motor drive circuit 993, a stepper motor drive circuit 995, and/or a permanent magnet motor drive circuit 997, among others.
In particular, the chip 999 to be detected may also be provided with a diagnosis/protection circuit 940 and/or a control logic circuit 950; the first rated operating current and the first rated operating voltage of the diagnostic/protection circuit 940 and the control logic circuit 950 are less than a preset current threshold and voltage threshold, respectively; the second rated operating current of the driving tube circuit 930 is N times greater than the first rated operating current, the second rated operating voltage of the driving tube circuit 930 is M times greater than the first rated operating voltage, M, N is a preset positive integer; the chip 999 to be tested includes NMOS drive tubes and/or PMOS drive tubes.
Similarly, the driving chip 903 shown in fig. 9 and the controller 901 shown in fig. 8 also employ the same inventive concept; which includes a drive chip 903 for storing a storage medium body of a computer program; the computer program, when executed by the microprocessor, may implement the integrated circuit test method as described above; the controller 901 includes the detection device 600 and/or the driving chip 903 as described above, which can solve the same technical problems.
In practical application, the process shown in fig. 4 can be used for failure analysis and fault circuit positioning of the target chip 999; the target chip can be an integrated motor driving chip, and is particularly suitable for a scene that the related technology cannot detect obvious abnormal fault points.
In the circuit analysis step 210 and the third second photoelectric positioning step 320 shown in fig. 4, when the preprocessing of the first measurement point partitioning step 100 needs to be completed, the detection or analysis can be performed by a global positioning analysis means in the related art, such as OBIRCH or EMMI; otherwise, a clearly abnormal hot spot or luminous spot will not be captured.
Further, the internal circuit structure of the chip needs to be analyzed according to the result of the electrical verification so as to reduce the range of the circuit module where the fault point is located; after the specific circuit structure where the fault is located is locked, the fault can be locally positioned again by combining a positioning analysis means, and the physical position of the fault point on the chip layout is accurately positioned.
The inventor researches and discovers that the probability of failure of the integrated motor driving chip is far higher than that of failure of other internal circuit modules (such as the control logic circuit 950 and the diagnosis/protection circuit 940) because of the specificity of the hardware structure and the application scene, and the output of the internal driving tube is directly connected with an external motor load.
Therefore, for analysis of the abnormal function of the integrated motor driving chip, the working state of the driving tube needs to be focused; a focused ion beam FIB (Focused Ion Beam) can be used to fabricate FIB test spot array 920, i.e., PAD sequence, on the drive tube gate signal metal trace; when the chip is in operation (i.e., loaded), the microprobe MP (Micro Probe) is used to detect the drive tube gate signal to determine the specific location of the failed drive tube.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, three common integrated driving chips are respectively provided; the BDC driving chip needs to respectively manufacture test node PAD sequences on the grid electrodes of the 4 driving tubes of the two-path half bridge; for an integrated BLDC driving chip, test node PAD sequences are required to be respectively manufactured on the grid electrodes of 6 driving tubes of the three-way half bridge; for the integrated Stepper driver chip, test node PAD sequences are required to be fabricated on the gates of the 8 driving transistors of the four-way half bridge.
During the period, after detecting that the gate signal of the driving tube is abnormal by the microprobe technology, the current-voltage curve of the gate and the source drain of the driving tube can be further measured by the second gate detection step 200; if failure modes such as short circuit, open circuit, electric leakage and the like are detected, the specific physical position of the fault point on the layout can be locked by performing OBIRCH or EMMI failure positioning again; in addition, after determining the fault location, further layer-by-layer or slice analysis may be performed to find the damage point through physical analysis PFA (Physical Failure Analysis).
For failure analysis of an integrated motor drive chip, different analysis flows and analysis methods are generally available according to different failure modes; if the chip pin current voltage curve, i.e. I-Vcurve, has obvious anomalies (such as short circuit, open circuit, leakage), then the failure localization and physical analysis of PFA can be accomplished according to the relevant techniques.
However, if the current-voltage curve of the chip pin is normal, but the chip has no output or abnormal output waveform, and the positioning means (for example, the laser beam induced resistance change OBIRCH method (Optical Beam Induced RESISTANCE CHANGE) or the micro light microscope EMMI (Emission Microscope) method) of the related technology cannot capture obvious abnormal hot spots or light spots, the method and the product of the embodiment of the invention need to be adopted to process the internal circuit structure of the chip so as to reduce the fault range.
Because the integrated motor driving chip comprises various circuits such as analog, digital, power and the like, the internal structure is complex; therefore, it is important to make a reasonable detection and analysis scheme, or the success rate of fault diagnosis is greatly improved and the analysis period is shortened.
It should be noted that the foregoing examples are merely for clearly illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the foregoing, and that obvious changes, substitutions or alterations can be made based on the foregoing without departing from the scope covered by the technical solution of the present invention; other embodiments will fall within the scope of the invention without departing from the inventive concept.
