摘要
We evaluate the velocity of stacking faults (SFs) expansion under various current and temperature levels on the pn diodes by in situ electroluminescence (EL) imaging. The driving force of the SFs expansion is analyzed on the basis of the experimental results. The velocity of the SFs expansion increases in proportion to the current density at the every junction temperature levels. The activation energy for the velocity of the SFs expansion is estimated under the each current density level.
