Abstract :
The present paper approaches a comprehensive model of light emitting diodes (LED) resulting in thermic properties description. A generally presentation of concepts that were taken in consideration, in order to describe the model, are been discussed. Electrical measurements of the junction heat and simulation tools are used to characterize the thermic behavior of power LEDs. A thermal resistor network model was combined with a 3D finite element model of a power LED die in order to estimate both the junction temperature and the assembly case temperature. A passive cooling steady state thermic regime is considered. Die thermal stress and heat flow are related to the conduction heat transfer coefficient.
