Abstract
Aging the LEDs by driving at high current, results in the decrease of optical power proportional to the reciprocal square route of stress time. With aging time, change in the current–voltage characteristics indicates decrease of the current at low voltage below the light emission threshold, decrease of the forward voltage drop at high currents and usually no change in the series resistance. No change in the peak wavelength and half bandwidth were found with aging. Low frequency noise measured at low and high currents either did not depend on aging time or decreased. No correlation between noise, the device power, and the rate of the power degradation were found. These results are in strong contrast to previous studies of longer wavelength GaN-based LEDs. The possible degradation mechanism is the diffusion of the Al atoms out from the p-type cladding layer and lowering of the cladding layer potential barrier as a result.
