Course Description

The THORS Light Emitting Diode (LED) Failure Modes course introduces learners to the various failure modes resulting from failure mechanisms in the LED chip, which consists of substrate, support layers, and Multiple Quantum Wells (MQWs). The course also examines common failure mechanisms and their associated failure modes in LED packages, including the encapsulant, package lens, and interconnect. Additionally, the course explores failure modes arising from the failure mechanisms in the lighting module and system. Presented in THORS’ highly visual and interactive learning format, this course will equip learners with a complete understanding of the common failure mechanisms in LEDs and their related failure modes.
