Abstract

Catastrophic optical damage (COD) is a degradation mode of laser diodes. COD is associated with a localized overheating of the active region of the laser. The COD power threshold decreases with laser aging and is influenced by operational conditions, such as cavity temperature, and technological factors, including packaging-induced stress. We analyze here the influence of both factors, the temperature of the cavity and the packaging stress, on the local heat sources responsible for COD. Using finite element methods, we extend a thermomechanical COD model to include these variables. The model is applied to a generic AlGaAs/GaAs (808 nm) laser device, but it can be extended to any laser device by taking account of the specific operational characteristics and the material parameters. The results obtained evidence a reduction in the COD power threshold due to junction temperature increase and packaging stress.

期刊介绍： Microelectronics Reliability, is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results and related information on the reliability of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, from materials, process and manufacturing, to design, testing and operation. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: measurement, understanding and analysis; evaluation and prediction; modelling and simulation; methodologies and mitigation. Papers which combine reliability with other important areas of microelectronics engineering, such as design, fabrication, integration, testing, and field operation will also be welcome, and practical papers reporting case studies in the field and specific application domains are particularly encouraged. Most accepted papers will be published as Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Papers reviewing important developing topics of general interest may be accepted for publication as Review Papers. Urgent communications of a more preliminary nature and short reports on completed practical work of current interest may be considered for publication as Research Notes. All contributions are subject to peer review by leading experts in the field.
