INTRODUCTION
• In the last fewyears, great efforts have been spent in the improvements of materials and structure in terms of process and reliability. Novel technologies for low defect densities in active region allow a better efficiency, and an efficacy of 110 lm/W at 350 mA has been demonstrated .
• The high junction temperature reached during operation limits the lifetime of devices, and better performing heat sinks are needed in order to operate at high current level.

Temperature increase for devices operated at 400 mA without heat sink at ambient temperature of about 35 ◦C. The temperature was collected from voltage transient and thermal coefficient.

Light output of LEDs from set A during thermal and electrical aging.X-axis was plotted in log scale in order to identify the exponential decay of 220 ◦C aged devices. Devices have been characterized in the same conditions for different stress test. The kinetics were well correlated for the first 10 h of stress.

CIE 1964 chromatic coordinates during thermal aging were reportedon the chromatic diagram: LEDs from set A exhibited stronger blue shift.

CONCLUSION
• The optical decay could be ascribed to a lowering of blue chip emission and a degradation of yellow conversion efficiency.
• The modifications of thermal properties of the materials (die attach, epoxy) could induce the thermal resistance increase detected for aged devices.
• The use of silicone materials rather than epoxy plastic for package will improve the lumen maintenance of such devices.
