Abstract

We summarize the characteristic defect structures associated with gradual-degradation, rapiddegradation, catastrophic (mirror-facet) optical damage (COD), electric static discharge (ESD) and electric overstress (EOS) damages to provide a defect-map for device failure mode analysis. The generation mechanisms of these lattice defects are discussed which pinpoint the weak links in the device structures.
