Abstract

The invention provides a silicon carbide power semiconductor device testing method. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring grid screening reference voltage; testing to obtain a first rated threshold voltage of each silicon carbide power semiconductor device to be tested; the to-be-tested device grid voltage of each to-be-tested silicon carbide power semiconductor device is tested; when the grid voltage of the to-be-tested device is greater than or equal to the grid screening reference voltage, judging preliminary qualification; testing to obtain a preliminarily qualified second rated threshold voltage of each silicon carbide power semiconductor device to be tested; and when the difference amplitude between the first rated threshold voltage and the second rated threshold voltage is greater than a preset change rate threshold, determining that the silicon carbide power semiconductor device is unqualified, otherwise, determining that the silicon carbide power semiconductor device to be detected is qualified. According to the technical scheme, screening is carried out through the grid leakage current test, the threshold voltage test, the grid voltage comparison and the threshold voltage comparison, damaged chips in the grid leakage current test can be effectively screened out, the screening efficiency is ensured, and the screening precision is improved.
