  • Abstract
    The reliability characteristics of a multi-quantum well (MQW) GaN-InGaN light emitting diode (LED) under various stress current densities have been investigated. Based on the contact electromigration failure model of a silicon device, the lifetime of the LED device under normal operating current condition can be obtained from the relation t f=C/I*
