摘要
The junction temperature rise of light emitting diodes due to self-heating effects during operation of the LED is measured using the electro-luminescence of the band-to-band recombination. This method is useful for the junction temperature monitoring of small geometry devices, indirectly. The junction temperature measured in InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well LEDs with 1 mm(2) device size rises to 180 degrees C when the input current is 380 mA. The relationship between the junction temperature and the LED efficiency is clarified with experimental results.
