The sensitivity of InGaAsP/InP buried crescent lasers to ESD phenomena was deeply analysed, starting from the need to explain and prevent sudden failures during equipment manufacturing and test. Failure analysis allowed us to localize the degradation, which can be explained by means of a simple phenomenological model; finally a physical model was implemented trying to correlate the results of the failure analysis with the proposed failure mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
