High Power LED Thermal and Stress Simulation on Copper Slug

High power LED are captivating attention due to its cogent impacts on lighting industry in terms of efficacy, low power consumption, long lifetime and miniature physical size. Nonetheless, the efficiency and reliability of the LED is signified by the junction temperature. This work demonstrates the thermal and stress simulation of single chip LED package with 1mm x1mm x 1mm copper heat slug. The simulation was performed using Ansys version 11. The GaN LED chip was powered with input power of 0.1 W and 1 W. The simulation outcome exhibited that at the maximum junction temperature and stress of the LED chip were 115.81°C and 221.56MPa correspondingly for input power of 1W.
