ABSTRACTSecondary ion mass spectroscopy is used to examine the dark, non-emissive defects on the organic light-emitting device. Boundary movements are originated from electrode imperfection. Due to flexibility and movability of polymer layer, distribution variations and a more severe Indium and Calcium overlapping are detected in dark spot defect area. Boundary movements are not in good agreement between different layers. Interfaces became undulate. The closeness and proximity between the In sharp spikes and cathode metal protrusion leads to the initial point of dark spot. We demonstrate that the presence of cathode imperfection and interface roughness of different layers correlated to the device dark spot formation.

ABSTRACTElectroluminescence measurements of P-implanted GaN light-emitting diodes were performed. The measured peak densities of P in the GaN were 5×10 cm−3 and 4×10 cm−3 based on secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The EL spectra had a broad blue-band emission at the peak energy from around 2.8 eV to 3.3 eV and yellow-band emission at an energy centered at 2.2 eV. The blue-band emission could decompose into two components at energy positions of 2.9 eV and 3.2 eV. The former component is considered to be emission due to the recombination of the bounding exciton by P atoms, known as an isoelectronic trap in GaN.

Abstract This presentation demonstrates how Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy provides unique information to identify suspect counterfeit semiconductor devices. An example is shown where the epitaxial layers of a light emitting device (LED) do not match those of the exemplar. Keywords: Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, SIMS, counterfeit detection, LED, Light emitting diode.
