Abstract

Operation-induced degradation of internal quantum efficiency of high-brightness (Al_xGa_1-x)_0.5In_0.5P light-emitting devices (LEDs) is analysed experimentally and theoretically. A test series of LEDs was grown by MOCVD with identical layer sequence but different Aluminum content x in the active AlGaInP layer resulting in devices emitting light between 644 nm and 560 nm. The analysis yields the wavelength dependence of both the nonradiative recombination constant A as well as the carrier leakage parameter C of devices before and after aging. While test devices with λ>615 nm are very stable, LEDs with shorter emission wavelengths exhibit both an increase of A and a slight decrease of C upon aging. Possible degradation mechanisms are discussed.
