Abstract: A wafer-level semiconductor high-voltage reliability test fixture is provided. The test fixture includes: a first insulation plate, a first circuit board, and a second insulation plate. A target object is disposed between the first circuit board and the second insulation plate. A side of the first circuit board facing the target object is provided with a probe holder including probes. The first circuit board is connected to the target object through the probes such that a high-voltage electrical signal is transmitted to the target object when the high-voltage electrical signal is applied to the first circuit board. The first insulation plate and the second insulation plate isolate the high-voltage electrical signal from the outside world, and the probes also transmit test electrical signals to the target object and transmit feedback signals to the first circuit board when the test electrical signals are applied to the first circuit board.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system of measuring capacitance of a device-under-test (DUT). The system includes first switch, second switch, and a capacitance measurement device. The first switch is configured to receive a supply voltage. The first and second switches are electrically connected to the DUT. The capacitance measurement device is configured to provide a first pair of non-overlapping periodic signals with a first frequency, and a second pair of non-overlapping periodic signals with a second frequency. The second frequency is β times the first frequency. When the first switch and the second switch receive the first pair of non-overlapping periodic signals, a first current is transmitted through the first switch and the second switch. When the first switch and the second switch receive the second pair of non-overlapping periodic signals, a second current is transmitted through the first switch and the second switch.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of using variable voltage sources to control respective thermoelectric coolers independently in a thermal testing environment. The variable voltage sources create temperature differentials between first and second opposing surfaces of the thermoelectric coolers by applying input voltages to the respective thermoelectric coolers. Heat is transferred, by first heat exchanger(s), between a fluid and respective subset(s) of the thermoelectric coolers Heat is transferred, by second heat exchanger(s), between semiconductor device(s) and the subset(s) of the thermoelectric coolers.
