    This work presents the results of extensive high-current accelerated aging tests carried out on blue and white InGaN/GaN LEDs packaged with the usual epoxy encapsulation (lamps) in order to investigate both package degradation and chip-related failure modes. As a result, the following package related failure modes were identified: (i) in blue lamps, high current levels and high junction temperatures, induce degradation of the epoxy material in contact with the heated device surface, leading to the formation of an opaque layer on the device surface; (ii) in white lamps tested at high current levels converting phosphors degradation has been observed, suggesting degradation of their white light converting efficiency; (iii) contact resistance increasing induced by die attach degradation has been observed in both white and blue lamps, finally (iv) plastic carbonization has been observed along the wire bonding suggesting power- or temperature-related cover plastic degradation that can contribute to the observed optical power degradatio

    The role of Mg complexes in the degradation of InGaN-based LEDs

    The electrical and optical properties of commercial blue InGaN-based LEDs after room temperature aging tests at DC-forward currents from 50 to 100 mA are studied by Current–Voltage, Capacitance–Voltage, Electroluminescence and Cathodoluminescence techniques. An increase of the reverse and low-bias forward currents, of the parasitic series resistance and a substantial optical intensity reduction are observed in all the devices investigated with or without heat sink. In addition, only in devices aged at 100 mA without heat sink, the onset of a broad optical band peaked at about 3.1 eV and an apparent doping decrease of about four times, as obtained by Capacitance–Voltage measurements, are found. Temperature-dependent luminescence analyses show the quenching of the 3.1 eV band above 200 K, suggesting its donor–acceptor-pair nature. The band onset is interpreted as a result of the Mg dopant instability in the p-type layers, correlated to the device self-heating inducing junction temperature above 300 ◦C. The band is attributed toMg-related metastable complexes, such as Mg–H2, acting as shallow acceptors. Due to their unstable nature, the behaviour of the 3.1 eV emission is studied under controlled electron-beam irradiation in the SEM. Its time evolution during 60 min of irradiation reveals an almost complete quenching in the Cathodoluminescence spectra, which is attributed to the dissociation of the Mg–H2 complexes

    Reliability analysis of Gan-Based LEDs for solid state illumination

    High-brightness, high-efficiency GaN-based LEDs have already found many applications, and are extremely promising devices for solid-state lighting, including general illumination [1]. While reliability of LEDs is significantly better in most aspects compared to traditional light sources, lumen maintenance remains one of the critical issues concerning this new technology. Early reliability studies [2] observed a rapid loss of light output, severe degradation of the transparent encapsulating material under blue and UV illumination and elevated temperatures; non-optimized packaging also induced other reliability problems due to difficulties in thermal management. As the packaging technology improves, the interest is focussing on failure modes and mechanisms related with the semiconductor material and the die technology, which have been less investigated in the past. This work presents the results of extensive high-current accelerated aging tests carried out on blue InGaN/GaN LEDs packaged with the usual epoxy encapsulation (lamps) as well as mounted without encapsulation (chips), in order to isolate the chip-related failure modes. As a result, 5 distinct failure modes were identified: (i) in encapsulated devices, testing at high current levels and, consequently, at high junction temperatures, induces degradation of the epoxy material in contact with the heated device surface, leading to the formation of an opaque layer on the device surface; (ii) high current and temperature affect the semi-transparent ohmic contact on top of the device, leading to increase in series resistance, with consequent current crowding effects that reduce the optical power; (iii) an increase in doping of the p-type layer takes place, possibly due to decomposition of Mg complexes [3,4], and Mg reactivation; (iv) Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) detects changes in the distribution of deep levels already present in untreated devices, and also a generation of shallow traps; (v) both DLTS and photocurrent spectra indicate the creation of extended defects in devices treated at high current density. Identification of the specific failure mechanisms allows an accurate extrapolation of LED lifetime, and suggests specific actions for improving device reliability

    Accelerated aging of GaN light emitting diodes studied by 1/f and RTS noise

    Because of their ultra brightness, GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) becomes a promising light sources for daily lighting. The growing market requires high reliability and long lifetime. Degradation mechanisms due to accelerated ageing in GaN LED have previously been investigated by capacitance spectroscopy or light emission mapping. In this paper low frequency noise (LFN) is used as a diagnostic tool to study degradation mechanisms in GaN LEDs submitted to accelerated agein
