We present backside laser testing of GaN power devices on Si substrate using optical parameters compatible with three-photon absorption in GaN and single-photon absorption in the substrate. The laser/device interaction is described. Two different kinds of transients are observed at the gate electrode and analyzed. The technique allows identifying the sensitive regions of the devices and generating destructive events.
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.
