Reliability tests for power semiconductors
Groundbreaking quality assessment by SET
New materials like silicon carbid (SiC) and gallium nitrite (GaN) are transforming the semiconductor industry. SET has already started producing powerful systems that enable testing and qualification of power semiconductors made from wide bandgap materials.
Wide bandgap materials:
A sea change in the seminconductor industry
The semiconductor industry is going through fundamental change. In power electronics, the need for greener energy efficiency is becoming more and more predominant. Also through an all-encompassing electrification of our day-to-day lives. Lightweight and small components with a high efficiency play a decisive role in environmentally relevant areas of application like e-mobility and renewables. This development further promotes the breakthrough of power semiconductors made from silicon carbide and gallium nitrite, offering much more performance while keeping the same dimensions as their silicon counterparts.

Upmost precision and reliability: Semiconductor test systems by SET
SET is providing answers to the industry’s challenges. We use our testing capabilities to develop innovative solutions for power semiconductor tests.
With high DUT numbers per system and increased test points we provide a basis for analysis. This covers a lot more data than is common in the market for you to benefit from extremely precise reliability tests. With reliability tests by SET you can choose to flexibly integrate them either during development at the start of a project, into your production processes or as part of quality assurance after production. To ensure qualification of your SiC power semiconductors, SET also offers new and dynamic test procedures.
All tests are based on measurements taken according to regulated ECPE (AQG 324) and JEDEC standards.
Competence and experience: The basis for innovative semiconductor test systems
At SET, we have a lot of experience and a proven track record in semiconductor reliability testing, which we have built in close contact to our customers. Futhermore, we cooperate with academic institutions. For example, we use our membership in the European Center for Power Electronics e.V. (ECPE) to develop innovative semiconductor test systems that meet the newest requirements.
SET contributes its broad range of expertise in highly precise measuring technology and engineering to the ECPE working group. ECPE is defining the European Qualification Guideline for Power Modules in Power Electronic Converter Units in Motor Vehicles (Guideline AQG 324). That helps to increase the safety of mobility in the future. Another important aspect of our commitment: For years, we have hosted the International Power Semiconductor Reliability Round Table for the power semiconductor industry.
For us, semiconductor testing is an all-in solution. In addition to the actual test system, you will also get everything you need, from individualized consultancy to commissioning. And due to our active involvement in developing the respective standards, you can be sure to be perfectly prepared for future developments. With SET’s innovative solutions, you increase the operational safety of your products and also make your comapany futureproof.
There are various options for you to connect the DUTs for semiconductor testing:
- External connections furnace/climate chamber: Discreet wiring for modules, PCB connectors for substrates, standard connections for most types of housing, furnace installations for slide-in modules with multiple DUTs as well as adaptation to customer-provided substrate connectors or cassette connectors
- Cart with individual temperature control for the DUT
- Drawer in the rack: with or without individual temperature control for the DUT. Adaptation for standard packages with the option to have customer-specific adjustments
