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.

A simple, fast, and reliable characterization method for measuring junction temperature (Tj) on high power GaN-based light emitting diodes (LED) was presented in this study. Thermal characteristics of high power Light-emitting-diode have been analyzed by using a three-dimensional thermal conduction model. Maximum operation temperature has also been calculated. The induced thermal behaviors of the best package processes for LED device with diamond film were investigated by finite element analysis (FEA) and by experimental measurement. The large change of forward operation voltage with temperature in light emitting diodes is advantageously used to measure junction temperature. Using this method, junction temperature (Tj) of LED under various structures and chip mounting methods was measured. It was found that the junction temperature can be reduced considerably by using diamond film substrates to replace sapphire substrate. In this study, the junction temperature can be decreased by about 14.3% under 1.5W power and decreased by about 15.9% under 1W power for 1mm square die. The thermal resistance (RT) can be measured to be 14.8°C/W under 1.5W power and 16.6°C/W under 1.W power.
