摘要：

We report a detailed reliability test study on GaN-based high-voltage light-emitting diodes. Under high temperature (i.e., 80 degrees C) and high current injection (i.e., 100 mA) conditions, it was found that Al metal whiskers were formed from the sidewall of the Cr/Al/Ti/Pt/Au p-finger metal after 120-h burn-in test. It was also found that the whiskers became longer as we increased the burn-in time. Furthermore, it was found that the formation of Al whiskers is directly related to Al migration.
