Abstract
We analyze changes in carrier recombination in the quantum well (QW) active region of UVB light emitting diodes. For this purpose, we established an experimental approach for in-situ characterization of aging processes by direct comparison of QW luminescence generated by two different pump mechanisms, continuous current injection and shortpulse optical excitation. This allows the quantification of changes in recombination kinetics during device operation. We observe a reduction of the luminescence decay time from ~250 to ~200 ps within the first 42 hours of high current density stress. Moreover, trap-like defect centers are generated or activated, which capture non-equilibrium carriers ultrafast and reduce the luminescence power.
