对GaN基器件的直流稳态功率老化进行预筛选的方法A method for pre-screening DC steady-state power aging of GaN-based devices

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及直流稳态功率老化技术领域,尤其涉及一种对GaN基器件直流稳态功率老化进行预筛选的方法。The invention relates to the technical field of DC steady-state power aging, in particular to a method for pre-screening the DC steady-state power aging of GaN-based devices.

背景技术 Background technique

稳态功率老化是在较长的时间内对器件连续施加一定的电应力,通过电、热综合作用来加速器件内部各种物理,化学过程,促使器件内部各种潜在缺陷及早暴露,从而达到剔除早期失效器件的目的。对工艺过程中可能存在的一系列缺陷,如表面玷污、沟道漏电、芯片裂纹、氧化层缺陷等,具有较好的筛选效果。Steady-state power aging is to continuously apply a certain electrical stress to the device for a long period of time, and accelerate various physical and chemical processes inside the device through the comprehensive action of electricity and heat, so as to promote the early exposure of various potential defects inside the device, so as to achieve the elimination purpose of early failure devices. It has a good screening effect on a series of defects that may exist in the process, such as surface contamination, channel leakage, chip cracks, and oxide layer defects.

半导体器件的可靠性通常由浴盆曲线的理想化曲线来表示,它由3个区域组成。在第一个区域,失效率随时间减小,称为早期失效期。在第2个区域,失效率达到恒定值,称为恒定失效率期或使用寿命区。在第三个区域,失效率随时间增大,称为耗损失效期。在第一个区域也就是早期失效期内,器件参数不稳定,器件失效率高。之后在恒定失效率期内器件参数趋于稳定。早期失效期与恒定失效率期之间的时间点一般被称为阈值时间。在进行器件稳态直流功率老化的过程中,确定器件的早期失效期和使用寿命区之间的阈值时间,作为器件进行预筛选的一个依据,可以大大节省进行稳态直流老化的时间,并能保证器件在经过预筛选后达到平稳的使用寿命期,增加了器件在使用过程中的稳定性。The reliability of semiconductor devices is usually represented by an idealized curve of the bathtub curve, which consists of 3 regions. In the first region, the failure rate decreases with time, called the early failure period. In the second region, the failure rate reaches a constant value, which is called the constant failure rate period or service life region. In the third region, the failure rate increases with time, known as the wear-out period. In the first region, that is, the early failure period, the device parameters are unstable and the device failure rate is high. Afterwards, the device parameters tend to be stable in the period of constant failure rate. The point in time between the early failure period and the constant failure rate period is generally referred to as the threshold time. In the process of steady-state DC power aging of devices, determining the threshold time between the early failure period and the service life of the device as a basis for pre-screening of devices can greatly save the time for steady-state DC aging, and can Ensure that the device reaches a stable service life after pre-screening, increasing the stability of the device during use.

采用电功率老化方法筛选GaN基功率器件最关键的问题是确定器件进行稳态功率老化筛选的应力条件,应力条件过低则达不到筛选效果,应力条件过高又有可能温度超过最高允许结温从而导致过应力失效。要想达到最佳筛选效果,则是在器件所能承受的极限功耗条件下对器件进行稳态功率老化,该稳态功率老化采用显微红外测量的方法得到GaN基HEMT器件峰值结温同器件耗散功率之间的关系,进而确定器件进行稳态功率老化筛选的应力条件。The most critical issue in screening GaN-based power devices using the electrical power aging method is to determine the stress conditions for steady-state power aging screening of devices. If the stress conditions are too low, the screening effect will not be achieved, and if the stress conditions are too high, the temperature may exceed the maximum allowable junction temperature. resulting in overstress failure. In order to achieve the best screening effect, the steady-state power aging of the device is carried out under the limit power consumption condition that the device can bear. The relationship between the power dissipated by the device, and then determine the stress conditions for the device to undergo steady-state power aging screening.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,以下结合具体实施例,并参照附图,对本发明进一步详细说明。In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

本发明提供的实施例通过进行GaN/AlGaN HEMT直流稳态功率老化实验,对器件的可靠性进行初步筛选,该方法首先采用显微红外的测量方法,获得峰值结温同直流稳态功率的关系,从而确定器件稳态老化条件(器件老化时的工作电压,工作电流以及所处基板的温度),根据器件的具体特性在一定的直流稳态功率老化的条件下对器件进行直流稳态功率老化。In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the reliability of the device is initially screened by conducting GaN/AlGaN HEMT DC steady-state power aging experiments. The method first uses a micro-infrared measurement method to obtain the relationship between the peak junction temperature and the DC steady-state power , so as to determine the steady-state aging conditions of the device (the working voltage, working current and the temperature of the substrate when the device is aging), and perform DC steady-state power aging on the device under a certain DC steady-state power aging condition according to the specific characteristics of the device .

器件在最初老化时性能参数不稳定,经过一定时间老化后趋于稳定。对于一致性较好的器件,器件参数趋于稳定时出现的时间大致相同,通过直流稳态功率老化确定出这一时间,该时间确定为器件早期失效的时间。对于同一批次的器件,采用该方法对器件进行预筛选,如果器件在经过早期失效期后参数仍然不能趋于稳定,则该器件应该进行剔除。The performance parameters of the device are unstable at the initial aging, and tend to be stable after a certain period of aging. For devices with good consistency, the time when the device parameters tend to be stable is roughly the same. This time is determined by DC steady-state power aging, and this time is determined as the early failure time of the device. For the same batch of devices, this method is used to pre-screen the devices. If the parameters of the device still cannot be stabilized after the early failure period, the device should be rejected.

器件的早期失效期一般在80-100小时内,采用该方法进行GaN器件的预筛选,既实现了对器件的一个老化过程从而使器件参数趋于稳定,同时也实现了器件在较短时间内进行筛选的过程,避免了长时间的老化,节省了人力和物力。The early failure period of the device is generally within 80-100 hours. Using this method for pre-screening of GaN devices not only realizes an aging process for the device so that the device parameters tend to be stable, but also realizes that the device can be used in a short period of time. The screening process avoids long-term aging and saves manpower and material resources.

本发明的实现原理在于,器件的寿命曲线是一浴盆曲线,在早期失效的时间段,器件参数不稳定,之后平稳期器件的失效率恒定,参数也趋于稳定,确定器件的早期失效期将有助于进行器件的一个早期筛选。器件通常包括了引起初期失效的缺陷,这些器件通常可以通过一个筛选过程而得以确定,这个过程通常包含了向器件施加一段时间的激励和“预烧”的过程,这个阶段以后是一个失效率基本是常数的区域。因此该方法提供了一种有效进行GaN器件可靠性表征的方法。采用一种简易可操作的方法实现了对GaN器件的预筛选。The realization principle of the present invention is that the service life curve of the device is a bathtub curve, and in the period of early failure, the device parameters are unstable, and the failure rate of the device in the stable period is constant, and the parameters also tend to be stable, so the early failure period of the device is determined to be Helpful for an early screening of devices. Devices often contain defects that cause incipient failure. These devices can usually be identified through a screening process that usually involves applying excitation to the device and "burning in" the device for a period of time, after which a failure rate is basically determined. is a constant region. Therefore, this method provides an effective way to characterize the reliability of GaN devices. The pre-screening of GaN devices is realized by a simple and operable method.

峰值结温的测量是拟定高可靠器件筛选应力的前提,器件筛选对于剔除早期失效的器件或剔除有隐患的器件,反映器件在一定功率工作下的实际可靠性特征,实现对器件可靠性的有效评价。GaN基HEMT器件稳态工作寿命试验大都是在一定的壳温和相应最大额定功率的条件下进行。The measurement of the peak junction temperature is the premise of formulating the screening stress of high-reliability devices. Device screening can reflect the actual reliability characteristics of the device under a certain power operation for the removal of early failure devices or devices with hidden dangers, so as to realize the effective control of device reliability. evaluate. Most of the steady-state working life tests of GaN-based HEMT devices are carried out under a certain case temperature and corresponding maximum rated power.

按Tj=P Rth(j-c)+Tc计算,其中Tj为GaN器件的峰值结温值,P为器件的直流耗散功率的大小,Rth(j-c)为器件的结温到环境温度的热阻大小,Tc为器件的环境温度。Calculate according to T j =P R th (jc)+T c , where Tj is the peak junction temperature value of the GaN device, P is the DC dissipation power of the device, and R th (jc) is the distance between the junction temperature of the device and the ambient temperature Thermal resistance, Tc is the ambient temperature of the device.

采用显微红外热像法测量结温,得到功率-峰值结温的定量关系,确定高可靠器件稳态老化的应力条件。在该条件下,对GaN基HEMT器件在短时间内施加直流稳态功率应力,同时采用计算机软件对器件的特性参数随时间变化的曲线进行实时的采集,进而确定器件特性参数趋于稳定的时间为器件进行预筛选的时间,从而实现对器件的特性参数的稳定并达到预筛选的目的。The junction temperature is measured by micro-infrared thermography, the quantitative relationship between power and peak junction temperature is obtained, and the stress conditions for steady-state aging of high-reliability devices are determined.

Use a DC power supply to measure the DC steady-state power of the device, fix the drain terminal voltage, change the gate voltage of the device, obtain the corresponding leakage current, and measure the DC steady-state power of the device. The DC steady-state power is obtained by multiplying the current and voltage on the power supply.

2、采用显微红外测量器件的结温,获得器件的结温分布以及峰值结温,如图3所示,步骤如下:2. Use micro-infrared to measure the junction temperature of the device to obtain the junction temperature distribution and peak junction temperature of the device, as shown in Figure 3, the steps are as follows:

(1)显微红外测试仪通过软件把夹具的温度控制在70℃;(1) The micro-infrared tester controls the temperature of the fixture at 70°C through software;

(2)采用单管封装的器件安装在专用的夹具上,该夹具通过抑制振荡电路实现了器件自激振荡的抑制,以输出器件的直流稳态功率。(2) The device packaged in a single tube is mounted on a special fixture, which suppresses the self-excited oscillation of the device through an oscillation suppression circuit to output the DC steady-state power of the device.

(3)显微红外热像仪通过检测芯片的辐射能量密度分布,由计算机软件换算成表面各点的温度值,准确的确定器件上的峰值温度。(3) The microscopic infrared thermal imager detects the radiation energy density distribution of the chip and converts it into the temperature value of each point on the surface by computer software to accurately determine the peak temperature on the device.

4、确定GaN基HEMT器件进行峰值结温稳态功率老化的条件。4. Determine the conditions for peak junction temperature steady-state power aging of GaN-based HEMT devices.

GaN基HEMT器件稳态工作寿命实验大都是在一定壳温和相应最大额定功率的条件下进行,按Tj=P Rth(j-c)+Tc        (1)Most of the steady-state working life experiments of GaN-based HEMT devices are carried out under the conditions of a certain case temperature and corresponding maximum rated power, according to T j =P R th (jc)+T c (1)

从筛选的角度,没有必要加额定功率,完全可以甩掉散热片、风冷和水冷,减功率进行,只要保证峰值结温,这是峰值结温筛选的基本原则。在不附加散热条件下,在壳温额定的条件下,这里器件的壳温控制在70℃,对GaN器件施加一定的直流稳态功率,使结温达到Tjm并连续工作,在低电压小功耗结温分布的器件,在高电压大功耗时结温分布可能变得极不均匀,会出现明显的热斑,甚至导致器件失效,而环境对器件的结温和热阻影响较小,所以拟定老化条件时,应在提高器件的环境温度而降低耗散功率特别是降低器件漏端电压的条件下进行。From the screening point of view, there is no need to increase the rated power. The heat sink, air cooling and water cooling can be completely removed, and the power can be reduced. As long as the peak junction temperature is guaranteed, this is the basic principle of peak junction temperature screening. Under the condition of no additional heat dissipation, under the condition of rated case temperature, the case temperature of the device here is controlled at 70°C, and a certain DC steady-state power is applied to the GaN device to make the junction temperature reach Tjm and work continuously. For devices that consume junction temperature distribution, the junction temperature distribution may become extremely uneven at high voltage and high power consumption, and obvious hot spots will appear, and even cause device failure, and the environment has little influence on the junction temperature and thermal resistance of the device, so When formulating aging conditions, it should be carried out under the condition of increasing the ambient temperature of the device and reducing the power dissipation, especially the drain voltage of the device.

因此,GaN基器件稳态老化的实验条件是:Therefore, the experimental conditions for steady-state aging of GaN-based devices are:

通过控制夹具周围的环境温度,控制器件的壳温,器件所处的基板的温度为70℃;By controlling the ambient temperature around the fixture and controlling the shell temperature of the device, the temperature of the substrate where the device is located is 70°C;

所加的漏端电压为25V,漏端电流为200mA;The added drain voltage is 25V, and the drain current is 200mA;

通过控制软件对器件的特性参数Vd、Id、Vg和Ig随之间的变化进行实时的采集。Through the control software, the changes of the characteristic parameters Vd, Id, Vg and Ig of the device are collected in real time.

5、确定器件特性参数趋于稳定的阈值时间,在该阈值时间之后器件的特性参数趋于稳定,认为器件进入稳定工作寿命期。通过监测器件的Vg和Ig随时间变化的曲线,特性参数趋于稳定处所对应的时间。器件1#10在经过390个小时的老化后,由于停电实验被迫中断后,继续进行实验,发现1#10的特性参数已经趋于稳定,以下是采集得到的结果,说明器件在经过一定时间的预老化后器件特性趋于平稳,进入寿命的稳定期,以下的结果对该方法进行了验证。5. Determine the threshold time for the characteristic parameters of the device to become stable. After the threshold time, the characteristic parameters of the device tend to be stable, and it is considered that the device has entered a stable working life period. By monitoring the Vg and Ig curves of the device over time, the corresponding time when the characteristic parameters tend to be stable. After 390 hours of aging for device 1#10, the experiment was forced to be interrupted due to a power outage, and the experiment was continued. It was found that the characteristic parameters of 1#10 had stabilized. After the pre-aging, the characteristics of the device tend to be stable and enter the stable period of life. The following results verify the method.

6、对于同一批次,一致性较好的器件,对器件在阈值时间范围内进行稳态功率老化,将在该阈值时间内,特性参数难以稳定的器件予以剔除,同时经过稳态功率老化后的器件参数得到了稳定。6. For the same batch of devices with good consistency, perform steady-state power aging on the devices within the threshold time range, and remove devices whose characteristic parameters are difficult to stabilize within the threshold time, and at the same time after the steady-state power aging The device parameters are stabilized.
