本发明涉及芯片测试领域,具体涉及一种功率半导体芯片的鲁棒性测试方法、系统及装置。The invention relates to the field of chip testing, in particular to a robustness testing method, system and device of a power semiconductor chip.
背景技术Background technique
对于LDMOS\VDMOS\IGBT等功率器件来说,半导体芯片的鲁棒性(即强健性)是非常重要的指标,功率器件的鲁棒性往往和器件的温度分布有关,LDMOS\VDMOS\IGBT等功率器件具有较高的功率,工作状态下元器件的内部或者外部温度会随着热量的积累而变化,而温度的变化又会反过来影响元器件的工作状态即热电耦合现象。对于IGBT来说,热量的聚集使得IGBT内部温度升高,伴随着内部温度升高电流也随之增大,而电流的增加反过来进一步增加了功率提高了内部温度,陷入恶性循环最终直接导致元器件性的烧毁。为了保证电子元器件的可靠工作,需要在生产过程中确保电子元器件具有足够的鲁棒性。For power devices such as LDMOS\VDMOS\IGBT, the robustness (ie robustness) of semiconductor chips is a very important indicator. The robustness of power devices is often related to the temperature distribution of the device. The device has high power, and the internal or external temperature of the component in the working state will change with the accumulation of heat, and the temperature change will in turn affect the working state of the component, that is, the phenomenon of thermoelectric coupling. For the IGBT, the accumulation of heat increases the internal temperature of the IGBT, and the current also increases with the increase of the internal temperature, and the increase of the current in turn further increases the power and increases the internal temperature. device burnout. In order to ensure the reliable operation of electronic components, it is necessary to ensure that the electronic components have sufficient robustness during the production process.
目前半导体芯片的鲁棒性主要通过老化测试进行,即将待测半导体芯片置于老化测试装置中,通过IV检测模块检测待测半导体芯片是否具备正常的电学性能,对于一些昂贵、精密设备所用的待测半导体芯片会附加CV检测模块来确保待测半导体芯片的可靠。但是,对于LDMOS\VDMOS\IGBT等功率器件来说,影响待测半导体芯片可靠性的是高功率所引发的温度积累问题,通过检测电性能来判断待测半导体芯片的可靠性,需要足够长的老化时间才能通过电学性能异常来反映待测半导体芯片不可靠。At present, the robustness of semiconductor chips is mainly carried out through the aging test, that is, the semiconductor chip to be tested is placed in the aging test device, and the IV detection module is used to detect whether the semiconductor chip to be tested has normal electrical performance. The test semiconductor chip will be attached with a CV detection module to ensure the reliability of the test semiconductor chip. However, for power devices such as LDMOS\VDMOS\IGBT, it is the temperature accumulation caused by high power that affects the reliability of the semiconductor chip to be tested. It takes a long enough time to judge the reliability of the semiconductor chip to be tested by detecting the electrical properties. The aging time can reflect the unreliability of the semiconductor chip under test through abnormal electrical performance.

具体地,本实施例以P波段雷达用LDMOS半导体芯片为例进行说明,经步骤S11至S13处理后,本实施例形成的红外图像如图4所示,P波段雷达用LDMOS半导体芯片中由512个LDMOS单元314组成(此处仅显示6个为例),每个LDMOS单元314都会产生热量,热量的积累和散失会造成温度的变化,本实施例中以第一等温线311、第二等温线312、第三等温线313和第四等温线314表示空间区域的温度分布。Specifically, this embodiment is described by taking an LDMOS semiconductor chip for P-band radar as an example. After the steps S11 to S13 are processed, the infrared image formed in this embodiment is shown in FIG. 4 . The LDMOS semiconductor chip for P-band radar is composed of 512 It consists of several LDMOS units 314 (only six are shown here as an example), each
S14:分别计算Y个点的温度梯度;S14: Calculate the temperature gradient of Y points respectively;
在经步骤S11至步骤S13处理后的红外图像平面内计算各点的温度梯度,该温度梯度计算公式为:The temperature gradient of each point is calculated in the infrared image plane processed from steps S11 to S13, and the temperature gradient calculation formula is:
i和j为x,y方向单位矢量,为偏微分算子,T为温度信息,为矢量,的绝对值为温度梯度。i and j are unit vectors in the x and y directions, is the partial differential operator, T is the temperature information, is a vector, the absolute value of is the temperature gradient.
以P波段雷达用LDMOS半导体芯片为例,红外图像经温度梯度计算后,形成如图3所示温度梯度分布图,该图中Dt1表示第一温度梯度,Dt2表示第二温度梯度,Dt3表示为第三温度梯度。Taking the LDMOS semiconductor chip for P-band radar as an example, after the infrared image is calculated by the temperature gradient, the temperature gradient distribution diagram is formed as shown in Figure 3. In this figure, Dt1 represents the first temperature gradient, Dt2 represents the second temperature gradient, and Dt3 represents the The third temperature gradient.
S15:将红外图像整体空间区域划分为i个小区域;S15: Divide the overall spatial area of the infrared image into i small areas;
S16:获取每个小区域内的最大温度梯度,将每个小区域内的最大温度梯度配置为各个小区域的温度梯度;S16: Obtain the maximum temperature gradient in each small area, and configure the maximum temperature gradient in each small area as the temperature gradient of each small area;
S17:对各个小区域的温度梯度进行统计,绘制第一直方图,如图5所示,第一直方图的横轴为温度梯度,第一直方图的纵轴为温度梯度对应的小区域个数,将第一直方图按照个数从大到小进行排序,形成第二直方图,如图6所示;S17: Count the temperature gradient of each small area, and draw a first histogram, as shown in Figure 5, the horizontal axis of the first histogram is the temperature gradient, and the vertical axis of the first histogram is the temperature gradient corresponding to the The number of small areas, sort the first histogram from large to small to form a second histogram, as shown in Figure 6;
S18:利用瑞利分布对第二直方图进行拟合,求出σ,瑞利分布公式为:S18: Use the Rayleigh distribution to fit the second histogram to obtain σ. The Rayleigh distribution formula is:
其中,x为某点处温度梯度的取样值,σ为温度梯度的均方根,当σ大于第一设置值,则待测半导体芯片判定为异常。Among them, x is the sampling value of the temperature gradient at a certain point, and σ is the root mean square of the temperature gradient. When σ is greater than the first set value, the semiconductor chip to be tested is determined to be abnormal.
具体地,本实施例通过瑞利分布求得的σ值越大,说明待测半导体芯片的温度变化率越大,该待测半导体芯片的温度分布不均匀。Specifically, the larger the σ value obtained by the Rayleigh distribution in this embodiment, the greater the temperature change rate of the semiconductor chip to be tested is, and the temperature distribution of the semiconductor chip to be tested is uneven.
进一步地,如图2所示,功率半导体芯片的鲁棒性测试方法还包括体质筛选算法,体质筛选算法包括:Further, as shown in FIG. 2 , the robustness testing method of the power semiconductor chip further includes a constitution screening algorithm, and the constitution screening algorithm includes:

S24:将θ值与第二设置值进行比较,对待测半导体芯片品质进行分类。S24: Compare the θ value with the second set value to classify the quality of the semiconductor chip to be tested.
具体地,本实施例通过对待测半导体芯片整个老化过程中所有的红外图像进行处理分析,然后利用高斯分布求得θ值,当θ值越小,说明半导体芯片温度越集中,体质越好,便于后续对待测半导体芯片品质进行分类。Specifically, in this embodiment, all infrared images during the entire aging process of the semiconductor chip to be tested are processed and analyzed, and then the θ value is obtained by using Gaussian distribution. Subsequently, the quality of the semiconductor chip to be tested is classified.
需要说明的是,本实施例通过对温度梯度分布进行统计分析来判断半导体芯片的鲁棒性,而非利用温度分布进行统计分析,原因有以下:It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the robustness of the semiconductor chip is judged by performing statistical analysis on the temperature gradient distribution, rather than using the temperature distribution for statistical analysis, for the following reasons:
1、在不同待测半导体芯片中,待测半导体芯片温度分布的自身差异较大,待测半导体芯片温度异常很容易被这种自身温度分布差异作为噪音掩盖;1. Among different semiconductor chips to be tested, the temperature distribution of the semiconductor chips to be tested varies greatly, and the abnormal temperature of the semiconductor chips to be tested can easily be masked by this difference in temperature distribution as noise;
2、温度随时间变化不明显,短时间内难以观察到明显变化,温度在时间上的异常难以发现;2. The temperature does not change significantly with time, it is difficult to observe obvious changes in a short period of time, and the abnormal temperature in time is difficult to find;
3、利用温度进行数据统计过程中,由于不同半导体芯片自身温度分布差异大,在利用诸如正态分布等分布进行统计时,数据散布大、拟合误差大、参数的取值浮动大;3. In the process of using temperature for data statistics, due to the large difference in temperature distribution of different semiconductor chips, when using distributions such as normal distribution for statistics, the data spread is large, the fitting error is large, and the parameter values fluctuate greatly;
因此,本实施例通过温度梯度分布进行统计分析,更加注重温度变化的分布,从而避免了半导体芯片之间本身温度分布差异噪音的干扰,有效反应了半导体芯片温度变化细节;同时,不同半导体芯片之间温度梯度分布随着时间变化更为明显,可以在短时间内观察到明显变化,从而能在短时间内检测到半导体芯片异常;另外,在统计过程中,得到的数据散布更小,在利用统计方法进行分布拟合时规律更明显、拟合误差大大降低,在最终的异常检测或者体质筛选上达到了较高的准确率。Therefore, in this embodiment, statistical analysis is performed through the temperature gradient distribution, and more attention is paid to the distribution of temperature changes, thereby avoiding the interference of noise caused by the differences in the temperature distribution between the semiconductor chips, and effectively reflecting the details of temperature changes of the semiconductor chips. The temperature gradient distribution changes more obviously with time, and obvious changes can be observed in a short period of time, so that semiconductor chip abnormalities can be detected in a short period of time; Statistical methods have more obvious regularities in distribution fitting, greatly reduced fitting errors, and achieved higher accuracy in final anomaly detection or physique screening.
相较目前普遍使用的IV/CV检测方法,本实施例通过定量而非定性的得到基础数据(如温度梯度及随时间的变化)能够更早的发现器件在鲁棒性上的缺陷,及时发现更深层次的鲁棒性问题(如散热不均匀);相较于传统老化方法每个批次数天甚至数十天的检测周期,本实施例通过数十分钟至数小时采集得到的数据即可完成芯片的鲁棒性异常检测和体质筛选,本实施例节省更多的时间,有效地提高生产效率。Compared with the currently commonly used IV/CV detection method, this embodiment can find out the defects in the robustness of the device earlier by obtaining the basic data (such as temperature gradient and change with time) quantitatively but not qualitatively, so as to find out the defects in time. Robustness issues at a deeper level (such as uneven heat dissipation); compared with the detection cycle of several days or even tens of days per batch of traditional aging methods, this embodiment can be completed by collecting data from tens of minutes to several hours In the robust abnormal detection and physical screening of the chip, this embodiment saves more time and effectively improves the production efficiency.
