Impact of p-AlGaN Layer Thickness on ESD Performance in GaN-Based LEDs

This study investigates how varying the thickness of the p-AlGaN electron blocking layer (EBL) influences the electrostatic discharge (ESD) characteristics of GaN-based LEDs. It reveals that a thicker p-AlGaN EBL can enhance ESD endurance by mitigating dislocation-related pits on the InGaN-GaN multiple-quantum well surface. These pits, resulting from strain and low-temperature growth, compromise ESD robustness if unaddressed. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing EBL thickness to improve the reliability of GaN-based light-emitting diodes.

  3. Introduction • the ESD endurance ability could be attributed to the fact that the thickened p-AlGaN EBL may partly fill the dislocation-related pits that occur on the surface of the InGaN–GaN multiple-quantum well (MQW) and that are due to the strain and the low-temperature-growth process. • If these dislocation-related pits are not partly suppressed, they will eventually result in numerous surface pits associated with threading dislocations that intersect the InGaN–GaN (MQW), thereby reducing the ESD endurance ability.
