High temperature reverse gate
bias test system

The system performs time-dependent breakdown
evaluation of power semiconductor insulating film.

This device is suited to time-dependent breakdown evaluation of the insulating film of power semiconductors under stress conditions due to high temperatures and high voltage.

With high-accuracy measurement and product damage prevention functions, the system can be used for failure analysis during device development and reliability evaluation.
For leakage current measurement, a high voltage of up to 3000 V is applied to the power semiconductors, generally IGBTs, MOSFETs, and diodes.

Test category

POINT 01Two tests in just one chamber

The system combines HTRB and HTGB test functions into one. ESPEC can accommodate H3TRB (High Humidity High Temperature Reverse Bias Test) on custom specifications.

POINT 02Highly accurate current measurement with device-specific current measurement circuit

Current measurement is possible at both the drain (collector) and gate terminals for each device.
This makes it possible to determine if a device has failed even when testing multiple devices simultaneously.

POINT 03IV characteristic measurement with no need to change device connections

IV measurements are possible at any time with the sample in the chamber, including before, during, and after testing. You can evaluate IV value temperature characteristics as device characteristic changes due to time degradation.

POINT 04Device damage reduction functions

To minimize damage to samples, the system includes protective functions such as surge suppression and fast shutdown.
These protective functions are provided for each device to prevent other devices from being affected if any one device fails.
