Thermal Characteristics of InGaN/GaN Flip-Chip Light Emitting Diodes with Diamond-Like Carbon Heat-Spreading Layers

The temperature-dependent optical, electrical, and thermal properties of flip-chip light emitting diodes (FCLEDs) with diamond-like carbon (DLC) heat-spreading layers were investigated. On the basis of the measured results in the 20°C to 100°C temperature range, a significant performance improvement...
