Abstract: This specification discloses a method of enhancing the stability and performance of Eu2+ doped narrow band red emitting phosphors. The resulting phosphor compositions are characterized by crystallizing in ordered structure variants of the UCr4C4 crystal structure type and having a composition of AE1?xLi3?2yAl1+2y?zSizO4?4y?zN4y+z:EUx(AE=Ca, Sr, Ba; 0<x<0.04, 0?y<1, 0<z<0.05, y+z?1). It is believed that the formal substitution (Al,O)+ by (Si,N)+ reduces the concentration of unwanted Eu3+ and thus enhances properties of the phosphor such as stability and conversion efficiency.
