As the technology downscales with superior power and increased package density, the thermal effects of the high power LED are significant. Thus, the operating junction temperature of the high power light emitting diodes has to be reduced. In this paper, evaluation on single chip high power light emitting was done. The prime motive of this work was to assess the effect of heat slug size on the junction temperature and stress of LED chip under natural convection condition at ambient temperature of 25°C. Two sizes of rectangular heat slug were used. Simulation was carried out using Ansys version 11. Input power of 0.1W and 1W was applied to LED. Simulated results indicated that a larger slug size is favorable for a lower operating junction temperature and stress of the LED chip.

High power LED heat dissipation analysis via copper diamond slug

2013 , Rajendaran Vairavan , Zaliman Sauli , Vithyacharan Retnasamy , Kamarudin Hussin

The emergence of high power light emitting diode as a novel electronic based light source is due to its vast advantage in terms of optical efficacy, low power consumption and enhanced life time. However, the performances of the LEDs are dependent on the junction temperature as it is inherited high heat production. Hence, proper evaluation of the junction temperature is very significant. In this paper, the heat dissipation of single chip high power LED attached to copper diamond based cylindrical heat slug was scrutinized through simulation. The heat dissipation was characterized in terms of junction temperature. In addition, the stress of the LED chip is evaluated with varied input power. Ansys version 11 was used for the simulation. The simulated results reveal that at input power of 1 W, the max junction temperature of the LED is 114.69°C.
