Description

Bleeder circuit, energy storage circuit, semiconductor test system and bleeder method
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor testing technologies, and in particular, to a bleeding circuit, an energy storage circuit, a semiconductor testing system, and a bleeding method.
Background
The power semiconductor device is a semiconductor device for processing high voltage and large current, and during the measurement process of the dynamic characteristics of the power semiconductor device, the instantaneous high voltage and large current measurement is usually included. In the traditional dynamic characteristic measuring process of the power semiconductor device, the measuring duration is microsecond, the voltage reaches thousands of volts, and the current reaches thousands of amperes. Parameters such as avalanche, switching time, conduction loss waiting test are large in instantaneous power, and because a traditional power supply cannot provide such high instantaneous power, in power semiconductor measuring equipment, especially dynamic parameter testing equipment, a high-voltage large-capacitance energy storage capacitor is often used for providing energy for power semiconductor device measurement.
The energy stored in the high-voltage large-capacitance energy storage capacitor is high, and after the measurement equipment is tested or turned off, in order to prevent the test equipment from being damaged or an operator from being injured, the energy stored in the high-voltage large-capacitance energy storage capacitor is generally required to be released to a safety range through a release circuit.
The traditional bleeder circuit has two types, one type is realized by directly connecting a high-resistance bleeder resistor in parallel at two ends of an energy storage capacitor, however, along with the rise of the voltage and the capacitance value of the energy storage capacitor, the efficiency of the bleeder circuit is greatly reduced, and the test efficiency of the characteristics of a power semiconductor device is seriously influenced. The other type of the bleeder circuit is realized by connecting a bleeder resistor in series with a transistor, and the transistor is driven by a power supply to reduce the resistance value of the bleeder resistor, so that the bleeder efficiency is improved. However, in the bleeder circuit, since the Power Supply of the driving transistor is powered down after the test equipment is powered down, the bleeder circuit cannot be normally controlled to complete the bleeding, so that the bleeder circuit is generally equipped with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS for short) to provide Power for the transistor after the Power is powered down, and the bleeder circuit has the disadvantages of high cost, large volume and inflexibility. In addition, when the test equipment is abnormally powered off, the transistor of the leakage circuit cannot normally work due to the fact that the driving power supply is lost, and therefore the energy stored by the energy storage capacitor cannot be normally discharged. Therefore, the traditional bleeder circuit has low reliability and is not suitable for occasions of high-voltage large-capacitance energy storage capacitors.
At present, no effective solution is provided for the problem of low reliability of the bleeder circuit in the related art.
