摘要
GaN-based high-voltage green light-emitting diodes were biased by negative Human-Body-Mode electrostatic discharge (ESD) with -500, -1 000, -2 000, -3 000, -4 000, -5 000 and -6 000 V. The I-V characteristic and luminous flux under different electrostatic shock voltages were comparative analyzed after each shock. The results show that the LED has a soft breakdown which accompanied with apparent increased reverse leakage current and unapparent luminous flux change, which due to the generation of defect after ESD stressing at -500, -1 000, -2 000, -3 000 and -4 000V; When the device was biased to -5 000 V and -6 000 V, a sharp decrease of luminous flux appears, even decay to 50% of light output than before stressing. And forward voltage and reverse leakage current show a large degree of decrease and increase respectively after ESD shock of -6000V, which is due to the thermal model breakdown at this moment. The thermal model breakdown make temperature rise rapidly and form a melting channel, which disabled the LED eventually.
