Numerical Analysis of the Temperature Impact on Performance of GaN-Based 460-nm Light-Emitting Diode.
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2018 March 2
The influence of temperature on the characteristics of a GaN-based 460-nm light-emitting diode (LED) prepared on sapphire substrate was simulated using the SiLENSe and SpeCLED software programs. High temperatures impose negative effects on the performance of GaN-based LEDs. As the temperature increases, electrons acquire higher thermal energies, and therefore LEDs may suffer more from high-current loss mechanisms, which in turn causes a reduction in the radiative recombination rate in the active region. The internal quantum efficiency was reduced by about 24% at a current density of 35 A/cm2, and the electroluminescence spectral peak wavelength was redshifted. The LED operated at 260 K and exhibited its highest light output power of ~317.5 mW at a maximum injection current of 350 mA, compared to 212.2 mW for an LED operated at 400 K. However, increasing temperature does not cause a droop in efficiency under high injection conditions. The peak efficiency at 1 mA of injection current decreases more rapidly by ~15% with increasing temperature from 260 to 400 K than the efficiency at high injection current of 350 mA by ~11%.
