초록

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) 펄스의 누적이 산화형 표면 발광 반도체 레이저 (oxide VCSEL)의 전기 및 광학적 특성의 열화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 순방향 ESD의 누적에 따른 열화 과정은 3 단계의 열화과정을 보이는 반면 역방향 ESD의 인가에 따른 열화 과정은 급격한 전기 및 광학적 특성 변화에 의하여 구분되는 2 단계의 열화과정을 보였다. 등가회로 모델 및 대신호 등가회로 모델을 이용하여 I-V 특성 및 그 미분특성을 분석함으로써 두 가지 ESD 조건에 의한 산화형 VCSEL의 전기 및 광학적 특성의 열화과정을 이해할 수 있었다.

We have investigated the effect of the forward and reverse ESD pulse accumulation on the development of the oxide VCSEL's electrical and optical characteristics. The forward ESD-induced degradation is complicated, showing three degradation phases with increasing ESD voltage while the reverse ESD-induced degradation is divided by a sudden distinctive change in elecorl-optical characteristics. By comparing the measured L-I-V characteristics and their derivatives with the fitted characteristics using an equivalent circuit model as well as the large signal circuit model, the development of the oxide VCSEL's electro-optical characteristics under forward and reverse ESD conditions has been fully understood.
