Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is a current measurement method in an ATE leakage current scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps:
S100, determining a compensation model related to current, voltage and temperature in the process of testing the device to be tested by the testing device.
The test equipment is used for measuring the current of the equipment to be tested, when the test equipment is used for measuring the current of the equipment to be tested, the test equipment usually has the leakage current condition, and the compensation model is used for compensating the leakage current scene.
In some embodiments, the test equipment may refer to automatic test equipment ATE.
S200, obtaining measured values of the device to be tested, wherein the measured values comprise a current measured value, a voltage measured value and a temperature measured value of a test environment.
The current measured value is a value obtained by the test equipment, the voltage measured value is a voltage value sent by the test equipment, and the temperature measured value is a temperature value of the test equipment.
And S300, performing compensation calculation on the measured value of the equipment to be measured based on the compensation model to obtain the actual current value of the equipment to be measured.
The current measured value has a certain relation with the current actual value and the leakage current value, and the leakage current value is compensated through the compensation model to obtain the current actual value.
The existing compensation method is based on the current measurement value to directly compensate the current, and under the scene of larger leakage current, the influence of the current itself is considered, and the influence of temperature and voltage on the leakage current is considered.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, before step S100, that is, before the test device tests the device under test, the method further includes the following steps S10-S30, which are specifically as follows:
S10, determining a test scene and compensation parameters under the test scene in the process of calibrating the test equipment. The test scene is used for indicating the test type of the sample equipment connected with the test equipment in the calibration process of the test equipment.
A compensation model is required to be built before the compensation model is determined; firstly, a formula of a compensation model related to current, voltage and temperature is to be established, wherein the formula of the compensation model comprises compensation parameters according to different test scenes, and different compensation parameters can be selected according to different test scenes. The test scenes are related to the types of the devices to be tested, namely, the different types of the devices to be tested have different current values, and the corresponding test scenes are different.
S20, calculating adjustment coefficients of the current measured value, the voltage measured value and the temperature measured value according to the measured value and the current actual value obtained from the sample equipment.
The compensation model also comprises adjustment coefficients which are respectively used for compensating the current measurement value, the voltage measurement value and the temperature measurement value; and acquiring corresponding adjustment coefficients in the process of calibrating the compensation model formulas under different test scenes based on the acquired compensation parameters, measured value data acquired from a large number of other test devices and data of current actual values.
S30, constructing a compensation model corresponding to the test scene based on the compensation parameters and the adjustment coefficients in the test scene.
And finally, constructing complete compensation models under different scenes based on the acquired compensation parameters and the adjustment coefficients.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, step S10: determining the test scene and the compensation parameters under the test scene comprises the following steps of S11-S13:
S11, determining a measurement gear of the test equipment according to the current of the equipment to be tested, wherein the measurement gear is used for indicating the measurement range of the current.
According to the current magnitude of the device to be tested, a measurement gear of the test device needs to be selected, and the test device generally comprises a plurality of measurement gears, and each measurement gear is used for corresponding to a different current measurement range.
In a specific embodiment, the test device is divided into a first gear, a second gear, a third gear and a fourth gear, where the first gear is used for measuring devices to be tested for current within 20 μa, the second gear is used for measuring devices to be tested for current within 200 μa, the third gear is used for measuring devices to be tested for current within 20mA, the fourth gear is used for measuring devices to be tested for current within 800mA, different types of devices to be tested should select the correct measurement gear, otherwise, the measurement gear is improperly selected, which may affect the accuracy of the measurement result.
S12, determining a test scene based on the leakage current under the measurement gear.
The leakage current existing in the test equipment is related to the selected gear of the test equipment, when the gear of the test equipment is higher, the influence of the leakage current on the measurement precision of the test equipment is smaller, so that different measurement gears correspond to test scenes with different leakage current sizes.
In a specific embodiment, if the ratio of the leakage current in the measurement gear to the measurement range of the current is less than 1%, determining that the test scene is a small leakage current scene, otherwise determining that the test scene is a large leakage current test scene.
S13, acquiring compensation parameters corresponding to the test scene according to the test scene.
And through simulation design, carrying out simulation analysis on the leakage current of different test equipment to obtain compensation parameters under different test scenes. It can be known that the influence of the leakage current on the measurement result is different due to the difference of the leakage current under different test scenes; for example: under a large-current test scene, the leakage current of the test equipment is smaller than the current of the equipment to be tested, so that the influence caused by the leakage current is also smaller, and consideration factors for alignment compensation are also smaller in the scene, so that the value of the compensation parameter is also smaller; on the contrary, in the scene of small leakage current, the value of the compensation parameter should be larger.
Different test scenes are divided based on the size of leakage current, and different compensation parameters are selected according to the different test scenes, so that the leakage current is compensated to different degrees.
In this embodiment, the formula of the compensation model is shown in the following formula (1):
Wherein I comp is the actual value of the current, I is the measured value of the current, U is the measured voltage value of the current, and T is the measured value of the temperature; m1, M2 and M3 are compensation parameters, M1 is equal to or greater than 1, M2 is equal to or greater than 0, and M3 is equal to or greater than 0; a. b and c are respectively the adjustment coefficients of the current measurement value, the voltage measurement value and the temperature measurement value.
The method comprises the steps of testing a device to be tested for measuring current within 20 mu A, testing a device to be tested for measuring current within 200 mu A, testing a device to be tested for measuring current within 20mA, testing a device to be tested for measuring current within 800mA, and selecting M1=1, M2=1 and M3=1 when the device to be tested is the first gear or the second gear; when the test equipment is in the third gear, m1=1, m2=0 and m3=1 are selected; when the test equipment is in the fourth gear, m1=1, m2=0 and m3=0 are selected; it can be appreciated that when the test device is in the fourth gear, the corresponding scenario is a small leakage current scenario, so that the influence of voltage and temperature on the current measurement value can be eliminated.
The compensation formula fully considers the influence of different factors on leakage current under different scenes, so that the obtained current actual value data is more accurate.
