A. subject: QC Фізика description: The results of the light and temperature micromapping in AlGaAs light emitting diodes grown by liquid phase epitaxy as double heterostructures and emitting at ��0.87 �m are presented. At a driving current well above the safe operating limit ��300 mA�, the nonuniform light pattern and local self-heating �with temperature gradient of about 950 °C/cm� followed by catastrophic degradation of a device were detected with the charge coupled device and infrared microscopes operating in a pulsed mode. These were shown to result from the current crowding effect in the active and contact areas of a device. Good agreement between the theory and experiment was found publisher: American Institute of Physics date: 2008 type: Стаття type: PeerReviewed format: text language: uk identifier: http://eprints.zu.edu.ua/8346/1/JAPIAU1043033115_1.pdf identifier: Zinovchuk, A.
