Why LEDs for Lighting?
   •    Design flexibility
        – Zero to three dimensional lighting (dot-scale, line-scale, local dimming
           lighting and color dimming)
        – Small exterior outline dimensions (< 20mm × 20mm)
   •    High energy efficiency
        – Low power consumption (energy savings)
        – Low voltage operation (< 4V)
        – Low current operation (< 700mA)
   •    High performance
        – Ultra-high-speed response time (micro-second-level on-off switching)
        – Wide range of controllable color temperature (4,500K to 12,000K)
        – Wide operating temperature rating (-20˚C to 85˚C)
        – No low-temperature startup problems
   •    Eco-friendly product
        – No mercury
        – In 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act set standards for U.S.
           that cannot be met by common incandescent bulbs.

Haitz’s “Law” for Light Emitting Diode Flux
 •     Moore’s Law: the number of transistors in a silicon chip doubles
       every 18-24 months.
 •     Haitz’s “Law”: LED flux per package has doubled every 18-24
       months for the past of more than 30 years.

Phosphor Thermal Quenching:
                   Role of Phosphors in LEDs
• Small Phosphors (5 – 20 microns) are dispersed into the
  encapsulant material such as silicon and epoxy to increase the
  amount of light output producing white lights.
• White LEDs are usually phosphor-converted LEDs (pcLEDs)
  that utilize short wavelengths emitting from LED dies to excite
  phosphors (luminescent materials) spread over the inside of the
  encapsulant.
• Phosphors emit light with longer wavelengths and then mix with
  the remains of the diode light to produce the desired white color.
• White color can be tuned by selecting a type of phosphors
  emitting specific light color.

Phosphor Thermal Quenching:
                                     LED Phosphors
• LED phosphors are embedded inside the encapsulant that
  surrounds the LED die.
• Phosphors generally consist of a host and an activator (also called a
  luminescent center).
• Rare earth element (REE) phosphors are the most frequently used
  phosphor activators.
• The REE phosphors convert some portion of the short wavelength
  light from the LED, and the combined LED light with the down-
  converted light produces the desired white light.
• Phosphors doped with REEs such as Ce3+ /Eu2+ emit light with
  longer wavelengths and the mix with the remainer of the diode
  light.

Phosphor Thermal Quenching:
                                                 Impact
• Phosphor thermal quenching decreases light output with the
  increase in nonradiative transition probability due to thermally
  driven phosphorescence decay.
• Phosphor thermal quenching: the efficiency of the phosphor is
  degraded when the temperature rises.

• Phosphorescence decay is temperature dependent, while
  fluorescence decay is independent of temperature.

Encapsulant Yellowing:
                                          Introduction
• LEDs are encapsulated to prevent mechanical and thermal stress
  shock and humidity-induced corrosion.
• Transparent epoxy resins are generally used as an LED
  encapsulant.
• Epoxy resins have two disadvantages as LED encapsulants:
   – Cured epoxy resins are usually hard and brittle owing to rigid cross-linked
     networks.
   – Epoxy resins degrade under exposure to radiation and high temperatures,
     resulting in chain scission (which results in radical formation) and
     discoloration (due to the formation of thermo-oxidative cross-links).
• The degradation of epoxy resins under radiation and high
  temperatures is called encapsulant yellowing.

Encapsulant Yellowing:
 Comparison of the Common LED Encapsulants [1][5][6]
1) Epoxy resins
   • Remains transparent and does not show degradation over long time for long-
     wavelength visible-spectrum and IR LEDs
   • Epoxy resins lose transparency in LEDs emitting at shorter wavelengths (blue,
     violet, and UV)
   • Thermally stable up to temperature of about 120°C
   • Refractive index is near 1.6

2) Silicone Polymer
   • Silicone is thermally stable up to temperature of about 190°C
   • Silicone is flexible thereby reducing the mechanical stress on the
     semiconductor chip, but poor adhesion strength and dust abstracting.

3) Poly methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic glass)
   • Relative low refractive index (n=1.49 in the wavelength range 500-650nm)
   • Limited extraction efficiency when used with high refractive index
     semiconductors

Encapsulant Yellowing:
        Failure Causes and Failure Modes
• Failure causes:
   – Prolonged exposure to short wavelength emission (blue/UV radiation),
     which causes photodegradation (i.e., UV yellowing)
   – Excessive junction temperature (i.e., thermal yellowing)
   – Heating of the phosphor particles, increasing the temperature of the
     encapsulant or the die (i.e., presence of phosphors)
• Failure modes: decreased light output due to decreased
  encapsulant transparency and discoloration of the encapsulant.

Encapsulant Yellowing:
    Photodegradation of Polymer Material
• Photodegradation occurs by the activation of the polymer
  macromolecule provided by absorption of a photon of light by the
  polymer [7].
Degradation of polymer materials takes place under following
conditions [8]:
• By increasing molecular mobility of the polymer molecule by
  raising the temperature to above the glass transition temperature (Tg)
• Introduction of chromophores as an additive or an abnormal bond
  into the molecule which have absorption maxima in a region where
  the matrix polymer has no absorption band
 Photodegradation mainly depends on
• Amount of radiation
• Exposure time

Encapsulant Yellowing:
                     Photodegradation Study (1)
• J.L. Down [9] studied the yellowing of epoxy resin by monitoring
  the absorption at 380 and 600nm on a ultraviolet-visible
  spectrophotometer.
• All absorbance data (A at 380 and 600nm) at timed intervals (t) were
  subjected to the following calculation and standardization to a film
  thickness of 0.1mm.
   At = [A(380nm)t-A(600nm)t]*(0.1mm/F)
  Where: At =degree of yellowing, A=absorbance, t=time, and
  F=average film thickness for each sample.
• Criteria of the failure: epoxy samples with absorbance (At) greater
  than 0.25 were unacceptable in color. (Samples with At less than 0.1
  were normal. From 0.1 to 0.25 absorbance, uncertainty in color
  acceptability existed.)

Encapsulant Yellowing:
             Thermal Encapsulant Yellowing
• Though UV exposure plays a role in encapsulant degradation, it has
  also been shown that degradation can be achieved through purely
  thermal effects.
• N. Narendran et al. [10] reported that the degradation rate of 5mm
  epoxy-encapsulated YAG:Ce low power type white LEDs was
  mainly affected by the junction heat rather than the short
  wavelength radiation.
• In the study by Barton et al., [11] the yellowing is related to a
  combination of ambient temperature and LED self-heating. Their
  results indicated that junction temperatures of around 150°C were
  sufficient to change the transparency of the epoxy causing the

Encapsulant Yellowing:
 Effects of Presence of Phosphors in Encapsulant
• Narendran et al. [10] reported that 5mm type phosphor-converted white LED
  degrades faster than the similar type of blue LEDs
• If heat and the amount of short radiation were the only reasons for the yellowing
  of the epoxy, then the blue LED should degrade faster than the white LED
  because the total amount of short-wavelength radiation would be much higher for
  the blue LED compared with the white LED at the same drive current.
• At any given time only a fraction of the light will travel outward from the
  phosphor layer.
• Since the radiant energy travels through the epoxy region of the white LED more
  often than in the blue LED, the epoxy would yellow more.
• Arik et al. [12] showed that during wavelength conversion, localized heating of
  the phosphor particles occur. As low as 3mW heat generation on a 20m
  diameter spherical phosphor particle can lead to temperatures sufficient to
  contribute to light output degradation.

Encapsulant Yellowing:
 How Phosphor Scatter Reduces Efficiency?
• The encapsulant materials have a maximum refractive index of 1.6 while
  still maintaining good transparency. The YAG:Ce phosphor has a
  refractive index of 1.85 in the visible region.
• The large difference in refractive indices combined with small particle
  size and weak absorption results in diffuse scattering of incident and
  emitted light.
• This phosphor scatter reduces efficiency due to
   – Increased path length for light inside the phosphor, leading to reabsorption
     losses and decreasing the effective ηq of the phosphor
   – Randomizing of light directionality passing through the phosphor, leading to
     longer path lengths and increased contact with high loss areas such as
     reflectors, phosphor layer, and LED die.

Encapsulant Yellowing:
          LED Package Encapsulant Designs (1)
• The scattering and trapping of light by phosphor particles increase
  the probability of light being absorbed by the cup, packaging
  materials, and LED die.
• The efficiency that is reduced by these mechanisms depends on the
  concentration of phosphor, reflector cup surface roughness, the
  thickness of phosphor-composite layer, the size of phosphor
  particles, geometry of the encapsulant, carrier medium, refractive
  index matched with encapsulant material, and the curvature of
  encapsulant surface, especially, when the phosphor is not in contact
  with the die but away from the die.

LED Reliability Prediction Standard
• TM-21-11 is an IESNA standard that recommends a method of
  projecting the lumen maintenance of LED light sources from the
  data obtained by LM-80-08 testing.
  – TM-21-11 method is applied separately for each set of DUT
     test data collected at each operating (e.g., drive current) and
     environmental (e.g., case temperature) condition as specified
     in LM-80-08.
• Sample size recommendation:
  – Recommended number of the sample set is a minimum of 20
     units.
  – For sample size of 10-19 units, the allowed life extrapolation
     limit is shorter.

What is the Problem with this Standard?

• The standard completely ignores the failure
  mechanisms by which LEDs degrade
• The standard extrapolates based ONLY on temperature
  and assumed Arrhenius relationship without any proof
  of that being an appropriate model
• There is exponential progress in the technology of
  LEDs in performance and the reliability assessment
  being promoted here is at the level where
  semiconductor reliability assessment was in the 1960s
• We cannot throw away the knowledge from the physics
  of failure just to get simple calculation

  • 13. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: Role of Phosphors in LEDs • Small Phosphors (5 – 20 microns) are dispersed into the encapsulant material such as silicon and epoxy to increase the amount of light output producing white lights. • White LEDs are usually phosphor-converted LEDs (pcLEDs) that utilize short wavelengths emitting from LED dies to excite phosphors (luminescent materials) spread over the inside of the encapsulant. • Phosphors emit light with longer wavelengths and then mix with the remains of the diode light to produce the desired white color. • White color can be tuned by selecting a type of phosphors emitting specific light color. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 13 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 14. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: LED Phosphors • LED phosphors are embedded inside the encapsulant that surrounds the LED die. • Phosphors generally consist of a host and an activator (also called a luminescent center). • Rare earth element (REE) phosphors are the most frequently used phosphor activators. • The REE phosphors convert some portion of the short wavelength light from the LED, and the combined LED light with the down- converted light produces the desired white light. • Phosphors doped with REEs such as Ce3+ /Eu2+ emit light with longer wavelengths and the mix with the remainer of the diode light. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 14 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 15. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: Impact • Phosphor thermal quenching decreases light output with the increase in nonradiative transition probability due to thermally driven phosphorescence decay. • Phosphor thermal quenching: the efficiency of the phosphor is degraded when the temperature rises. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 15 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 16. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: Characteristic Requirements for LED Phosphors • Phosphors used in LEDs must have certain qualities, including the following [18]: − High color rendering index (CRI) − Good color reproducibility − No color shifting − Suitability for high flux devices − Chemical and thermal stability Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 16 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE

  • 18. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: Phosphorescence vs. Fluorescence • Phosphorescence has a longer emission pathway (longer excited state lifetime) than fluorescence. • Phosphorescence decay is temperature dependent, while fluorescence decay is independent of temperature. Fluorescence vs. phosphorescence. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 18 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 19. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: Failure Causes and Failure Modes • Failure causes: – High drive current and excessive junction temperature, which are attributed to increases in the temperature inside the package. • Failure modes: – Decrease in light output – Color shift – Broadening of full width at half maximum (FWHM) Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 19 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 20. Phosphor Thermal Quenching: Example of Phosphor Thermal Quenching • Upon heating, the broadening of FWHM is caused by 0.7 Die Phosphor phosphor thermal quenching 0.6 (3) 35.4C 56.3 C (4) ((4)–(6)). Optical power (W/nm) 0.5 80 C 97.8 C • A slight blue shift of the 0.4 (2) 115.2 C (5) 125.7 C emission band is observed for 0.3 phosphors as the temperature 0.2 (1) (6) increases. 0.1 0.0 • This short wavelength shift of 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 800 the phosphor is due to Wavelength (nm) phosphor thermal quenching. Spectra change with temperature rise Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 20 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE

  • 23. Encapsulant Yellowing: Introduction • LEDs are encapsulated to prevent mechanical and thermal stress shock and humidity-induced corrosion. • Transparent epoxy resins are generally used as an LED encapsulant. • Epoxy resins have two disadvantages as LED encapsulants: – Cured epoxy resins are usually hard and brittle owing to rigid cross-linked networks. – Epoxy resins degrade under exposure to radiation and high temperatures, resulting in chain scission (which results in radical formation) and discoloration (due to the formation of thermo-oxidative cross-links). • The degradation of epoxy resins under radiation and high temperatures is called encapsulant yellowing. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 23 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 24. Encapsulant Yellowing: Types of Encapsulant Materials in LEDs 1. Polymer Materials [1][2][3][4] – Epoxy resin – Silicone polymer – Poly methacrylate (PMMA) 2. Requirements for LED encapsulant material to enhance light extraction efficiency and reliability [1][5] – Transparency – High refractive index matched with LED die – High temperature resistance – High moisture resistance Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 24 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 25. Encapsulant Yellowing: Comparison of the Common LED Encapsulants [1][5][6] 1) Epoxy resins • Remains transparent and does not show degradation over long time for long- wavelength visible-spectrum and IR LEDs • Epoxy resins lose transparency in LEDs emitting at shorter wavelengths (blue, violet, and UV) • Thermally stable up to temperature of about 120°C • Refractive index is near 1.6 2) Silicone Polymer • Silicone is thermally stable up to temperature of about 190°C • Silicone is flexible thereby reducing the mechanical stress on the semiconductor chip, but poor adhesion strength and dust abstracting. 3) Poly methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic glass) • Relative low refractive index (n=1.49 in the wavelength range 500-650nm) • Limited extraction efficiency when used with high refractive index semiconductors Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 25 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 26. Encapsulant Yellowing: Failure Causes and Failure Modes • Failure causes: – Prolonged exposure to short wavelength emission (blue/UV radiation), which causes photodegradation (i.e., UV yellowing) – Excessive junction temperature (i.e., thermal yellowing) – Heating of the phosphor particles, increasing the temperature of the encapsulant or the die (i.e., presence of phosphors) • Failure modes: decreased light output due to decreased encapsulant transparency and discoloration of the encapsulant.

  • 28. Encapsulant Yellowing: Photodegradation of Polymer Material • Photodegradation occurs by the activation of the polymer macromolecule provided by absorption of a photon of light by the polymer [7]. Degradation of polymer materials takes place under following conditions [8]: • By increasing molecular mobility of the polymer molecule by raising the temperature to above the glass transition temperature (Tg) • Introduction of chromophores as an additive or an abnormal bond into the molecule which have absorption maxima in a region where the matrix polymer has no absorption band Photodegradation mainly depends on • Amount of radiation • Exposure time Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 28 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 29. Encapsulant Yellowing: Photodegradation Study (1) • J.L. Down [9] studied the yellowing of epoxy resin by monitoring the absorption at 380 and 600nm on a ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. • All absorbance data (A at 380 and 600nm) at timed intervals (t) were subjected to the following calculation and standardization to a film thickness of 0.1mm. At = [A(380nm)t-A(600nm)t]*(0.1mm/F) Where: At =degree of yellowing, A=absorbance, t=time, and F=average film thickness for each sample. • Criteria of the failure: epoxy samples with absorbance (At) greater than 0.25 were unacceptable in color. (Samples with At less than 0.1 were normal. From 0.1 to 0.25 absorbance, uncertainty in color acceptability existed.) Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 29 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 30. Encapsulant Yellowing: Thermal Encapsulant Yellowing • Though UV exposure plays a role in encapsulant degradation, it has also been shown that degradation can be achieved through purely thermal effects. • N. Narendran et al. [10] reported that the degradation rate of 5mm epoxy-encapsulated YAG:Ce low power type white LEDs was mainly affected by the junction heat rather than the short wavelength radiation. • In the study by Barton et al., [11] the yellowing is related to a combination of ambient temperature and LED self-heating. Their results indicated that junction temperatures of around 150°C were sufficient to change the transparency of the epoxy causing the attenuation of the light output of LEDs. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 30 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 31. Encapsulant Yellowing: Effects of Presence of Phosphors in Encapsulant • Narendran et al. [10] reported that 5mm type phosphor-converted white LED degrades faster than the similar type of blue LEDs • If heat and the amount of short radiation were the only reasons for the yellowing of the epoxy, then the blue LED should degrade faster than the white LED because the total amount of short-wavelength radiation would be much higher for the blue LED compared with the white LED at the same drive current. • At any given time only a fraction of the light will travel outward from the phosphor layer. • Since the radiant energy travels through the epoxy region of the white LED more often than in the blue LED, the epoxy would yellow more. • Arik et al. [12] showed that during wavelength conversion, localized heating of the phosphor particles occur. As low as 3mW heat generation on a 20m diameter spherical phosphor particle can lead to temperatures sufficient to contribute to light output degradation. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 31 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 32. Encapsulant Yellowing: How Phosphor Scatter Reduces Efficiency? • The encapsulant materials have a maximum refractive index of 1.6 while still maintaining good transparency. The YAG:Ce phosphor has a refractive index of 1.85 in the visible region. • The large difference in refractive indices combined with small particle size and weak absorption results in diffuse scattering of incident and emitted light. • This phosphor scatter reduces efficiency due to – Increased path length for light inside the phosphor, leading to reabsorption losses and decreasing the effective ηq of the phosphor – Randomizing of light directionality passing through the phosphor, leading to longer path lengths and increased contact with high loss areas such as reflectors, phosphor layer, and LED die. Reference: [13] Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 32 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 33. Encapsulant Yellowing: LED Package Encapsulant Designs (1) • The scattering and trapping of light by phosphor particles increase the probability of light being absorbed by the cup, packaging materials, and LED die. • The efficiency that is reduced by these mechanisms depends on the concentration of phosphor, reflector cup surface roughness, the thickness of phosphor-composite layer, the size of phosphor particles, geometry of the encapsulant, carrier medium, refractive index matched with encapsulant material, and the curvature of encapsulant surface, especially, when the phosphor is not in contact with the die but away from the die.

  • 36. LED Reliability Prediction Standard • TM-21-11 is an IESNA standard that recommends a method of projecting the lumen maintenance of LED light sources from the data obtained by LM-80-08 testing. – TM-21-11 method is applied separately for each set of DUT test data collected at each operating (e.g., drive current) and environmental (e.g., case temperature) condition as specified in LM-80-08. • Sample size recommendation: – Recommended number of the sample set is a minimum of 20 units. – For sample size of 10-19 units, the allowed life extrapolation limit is shorter. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 36 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 37. Lumen Life Projection Method in TM-21-11 (2) • Curve-fit: perform an exponential least squares curve-fit through the averaged values for the following equation Φ t B exp ‐αt t = operating time in hours; Φ (t) = averaged normalized luminous flux output at time t; B = projected initial constant derived by the least squares curve-fit; α = decay constant derived by the least squares curve-fit. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 37 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 38. Lumen Life Projection Method in TM-21-11 (3) • Projection of the lumen maintenance life: ln 0.7 70 α • Data Used for Curve-fit: for data sets of test duration (D) – From 6000 hours up to 10000 hours, the data used for the curve-fits shall be the last 5000 hours of data – For data sets of test duration greater than 10000 hours, the data for the last 50% of the total test duration shall be used for curve-fit. Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 38 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
  • 39. What is the Problem with this Standard? • The standard completely ignores the failure mechanisms by which LEDs degrade • The standard extrapolates based ONLY on temperature and assumed Arrhenius relationship without any proof of that being an appropriate model • There is exponential progress in the technology of LEDs in performance and the reliability assessment being promoted here is at the level where semiconductor reliability assessment was in the 1960s • We cannot throw away the knowledge from the physics of failure just to get simple calculation Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering 39 University of Maryland Copyright © 2012 CALCE
