Abstract:
In this article, new electro thermal characteristics degradation and failure mechanism of silicon carbide junction barrier Schottky (SiC JBS) devices with different die attach mate-rials under 300 degrees C power cycle (PC) stress were investigated andfound based on thermal structure function and failure analysis.The results showed that the electro thermal characteristics (ther-mal resistance,Rth j-d, andON-resistance,RON)were consistent,which were different in that decreased first and then increased for nano silver, but increased overall for alloy solders under 300 degrees CPC, both strongly related to the evolution of porosity, second-phase, interface cracks, and grain size in the die attach layer.However, the electrothermal characteristics were affected by die attach evolution to varying degrees due to different diffusion mechanisms, causing different failure phenomena (50, 1200, and 4000 failure cycles for high-lead, Au-Ge solder, and nanosilver,respectively). Meanwhile, the reverse leakage current (IR)and break down voltage (V-R)variations mainly depended on chip interface states, including the Schottky barrier lowering effect(induced by AlW intermetallic compound (IMC) and large cracksgenerated at the Schottky contact metal layer/chip interface)and electrons and holes trapped at the SiO2/4H-SiC interfacein the termination zone. Finally, this article discussed three failure mechanisms observed in devices employing three die attach materials under 300 degrees C PC
