The electrical-thermal characteristics of gallium-nitride- (GaN-) based light-emitting diodes (LED), packaged by chips embedded in board (EIB) technology, were investigated using a multiphysics and multiscale finite element code, COMSOL. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element model for packaging structure has been developed and optimized with forward-voltage-based junction temperatures of a 9-chip EIB sample. The sensitivity analysis of the simulation model has been conducted to estimate the current and temperature distribution changes in EIB LED as the blue LED chip (substrate, indium tin oxide (ITO)), packaging structure (bonding wire and chip numbers), and system condition (injection current) changed. This method proved the reliability of simulated results in advance and useful material parameters. Furthermore, the method suggests that the parameter match on Shockley's equation parameters, Rs, nideal, and Is, is a potential method to reduce the current crowding effect for the EIB LED. Junction temperature decreases by approximately 3 K to 10 K can be achieved by substrate thinning, ITO, and wire bonding. The nonlinear-decreasing characteristics of total thermal resistance that decrease with an increase in chip numbers are likely to improve the thermal performance of EIB LED modules.

We demonstrate high-power GaN-based vertical light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (VLEDs) on a 4-inch silicon substrate and flip-chip LEDs on a sapphire substrate. The GaN-based VLEDs were transferred onto the silicon substrate by using the Au–In eutectic bonding technique in combination with the laser lift-off (LLO) process. The silicon substrate with high thermal conductivity can provide a satisfactory path for heat dissipation of VLEDs. The nitrogen polar n-GaN surface was textured by KOH solution, which not only improved light extract efficiency (LEE) but also broke down Fabry–Pérot interference in VLEDs. As a result, a near Lambertian emission pattern was obtained in a VLED. To improve current spreading, the ring-shaped n-electrode was uniformly distributed over the entire VLED. Our combined numerical and experimental results revealed that the VLED exhibited superior heat dissipation and current spreading performance over a flip-chip LED (FCLED). As a result, under 350 mA injection current, the forward voltage of the VLED was 0.36 V lower than that of the FCLED, while the light output power (LOP) of the VLED was 3.7% higher than that of the FCLED. The LOP of the FCLED saturated at 1280 mA, but the light output saturation did not appear in the VLED.
