Abstract
The life of
light emitting diode (LED has a great relationship with its thermal resistance. As a part of the total thermal
resistance, thermal spreading resistance may also affect the reliability of LED. To study the influence of LED packaging
substrate for thermal spreading resistance, this article analyzes the influence of different parameters for thermal spreading
resistance of single heat source. Results show that the thermal conductivity, the thickness of substrate and the heat source
area has great influence on thermal spreading resistance. But the convection coefficient is not so important. And the more
the heat source deviates from the center of substrate, the greater the thermal spreading resistance will be. Second ly , based
on LED devices with d irect b ond c opper ceramics (substrate, thermal spreading resistance with two heat transfer
layers are analyzed by analytical solution and simulation . The influences of different thickness of copper and ceramics for
thermal spreading resistance and total thermal resistance are analyzed. Results show that with the increase of the thickness
of copper and ceramics, the thermal spreading resistance and the total thermal resistance are decrease, and the effect of
copper is more apparent. So the reasonable design of packaging substrate for LED packaging can reduce the thermal
resistance and improve the performance of LED heat dissipation..
