Abstract
Heat generated by ohmic losses is a critical parameter for performance and lifetime of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The temperature of InGaN MQW LEDs during operation has been investigated depending on the forward current using three independent methods. First, the temperature of the active region was derived from the electroluminescence spectra of the devices. Second, temperature dependent micro-Raman scattering by phonons was used to determine the local temperature. Finally, a finite element simulation was performed to get a full temperature profile of the device. While the first method yields the temperature of the active region, the latter two can map the thermal distribution. All three independent methods reveal maximum operation temperatures about 120 to 130 °C at a forward current of 30 mA, corresponding to a power density of 705 W cm—2.
