Abstract

We present a detailed high-pump-current study of self-heating effects in ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on sapphire. For deep ultraviolet LEDs on sapphire, our results establish self-heating to be a primary cause of premature power saturation under dc pumping. Even the flip-chip packaged devices undergo a steady-state temperature rise to about 70C at a dc pump current of only 50 mA (at 8 V) resulting in a significant decrease in LED output. Temperature rise values estimated from peak emission wavelength shifts and from micro-Raman mapping of the active devices were in good agreement.
