Abstract

GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) degraded by the generation of deep-level states were analyzed by means of temperature dependent current-voltage measurements. After accelerated aging test of LEDs, the density of deep-level states was found to increase by a factor of ∼5.0, which resulted in an increase in junction temperature of 7°C associated with increased nonradiative recombination. The optical microscopy images of LEDs under zero bias (left) and 50 μA (right).
