Abstract :
The results of an exact three-dimensional thermal model (shown in the first part of the work) of the Burrus-type light-emitting diode are presented in the present paper. The influence of various construction parameters of the homojunction GaAs Burrus-type LED on the temperature distributions in its active region is discussed. Thermal properties of the double-heterostructure GaAs-(AlGa)As Burrus-type LED are explained. The heat-spreading phenomenon in the heat sink of the diode is analyzed.
