Abstract :
The role of die attach adhesives (DAAs) in influencing the lumen output of midpower (30-150-mA input power) blue and white light emitting diodes (LEDs), which currently dominate the LED backlighting and general solid-state lighting, is studied. It is reported for the first time that a replacement of conventional silver-filled epoxy DAA by an optically transparent DAA can lead to a significant enhancement of light output as high as 13% and 21% increase for midpower blue and white LEDs, respectively. The mechanism for the observed enhancement is discussed in this paper.
