摘要
Proton damage is investigated for several types of modern light-emitting diodes (LEDs), examining the damage from the standpoint of older models based on lifetime degradation;as well as the simpler method of normalized degradation. An empirical model is developed to describe injection-enhanced annealing in amphoterically doped LEDs. Experimental results oh "aged" devices show that wearout degradation does not decrease the sensitivity of de,ices to radiation damage.
