  • Abstract
    The light output degradation of commercial VPE GaP:N LED´s was studied by monitoring minority carrier lifetime and deep level spectra. It was found that the decrease of the quantum efficiency can be completely accounted for by the formation of a nonradiative recombination center T6. T6is identified as a vacancy cluster, a model suggested by the formation-annihilation properties of this deep level.
