This letter reports on a low thermal impedance flip-chip packaged deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes emitting at 280 nm featuring a finned heat sink. For a single 100μm×100μm device flip-chip packaged onto an AlN submount and mounted on a TO-66 header with attached finned heat sink, a total junction to ambient thermal impedance as low as 33°C∕W was obtained. Numerical simulations of the heat transfer show that the excessive value of effective thermal impedance is mostly limited by insufficient junction area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
