Abstract

LED degradation was investigated using cathodoluminescence (CL), electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) and device parameter extraction using a two-diode model. After electrical stress, the nonradiative recombination current increases, and the electroluminescence (EL) intensity at constant current bias decreases. The average EBIC and CL intensities also decrease. There is a good correlation between CL, EL and EBIC measurements. The two-diode model can reasonably model the LED degradation behaviour
