Epoxy molding compounds (EMC) with higher thermal stabilities are urgently needed as the light emitting diode (LED) becomes brighter and the wavelength of the its light becomes shorter. This paper proposes a simple reliable method of evaluating the thermal stabilities of commercial EMCs. The transmittances of most commercial EMC samples for high power short wavelength LED packages were decreased by heat treatment at 150oC for 200hr. Also the thermal stabilities of the samples were confirmed by measuring the weight losses through TGA. The experimental results suggest that employing a good heatsink is indispensable in highly bright short wavelength LED packages.

AbstractThe great scientific and commercial success of the group-III nitrides in recent years is the result of persistent fundamental research over a time span of three decades. In the late 60's and in the early 70's the very heart of gallium nitride research was located in J.I. Pankove's laboratory at RCA. There the first single crystalline GaN was grown by Maruska and Tietjen and the very first GaN light emitting diodes were produced by Pankove in September 1971, 26 years ago. Since then the community of nitride research has come a long and troublesome way, but it has succeeded. This 1997 Fall Meeting Symposium on Nitride Semiconductors of the Materials Research Society is dedicated to Professor J.I. Pankove for his outstanding and groundbreaking contributions in the early development of group-III nitride research. This paper reports a historical summary of the evolution of the field summarizing the landmark contributions that have led to the current status of success.
