Materials, Vol. 11, Pages 2000: Electric Current Dependent Fracture in GaN Piezoelectric Semiconductor Ceramics (Materials)
 


In this paper, the fracture behavior of GaN piezoelectric semiconductor ceramics was investigated under combined mechanical and electric loading by using three-point bending tests and numerical analysis. The experimental results demonstrate that, in contrast to traditional insulating piezoelectric ceramics, electric current is a key factor in affecting the fracture characteristics of GaN ceramics. The stress, electric displacement, and electric current intensity factors were numerically calculated and then a set of empirical formulae was obtained. By fitting the experimental data, a fracture criterion under combined mechanical and electrical loading was obtained in the form of an ellipsoid function of intensity factors. Such a fracture criterion can be extended to predict the failure behavior of other piezoelectric semiconductors or devices with a crack, which are useful in their reliability design and applications.
