Electrical TCAD Study of the Low-Voltage Avalanche-Mode Superjunction LED

The CMOS silicon avalanche-mode light-emitting diode (AMLED) has emerged as a potential light source for monolithic optical interconnects. Earlier we presented a superjunction light-emitting diode (SJLED) that offers a higher electroluminescent intensity compared to a conventional AMLED because of its more uniform field distribution. However,...

Light-Emitting Diode Junction-Temperature Sensing using Various Voltage/Current Measurement Techniques

Given the temperature dependence of various aspects of light-emitting diode (LED) performance, LED temperature sensing is becoming increasingly important in solid-state lighting applications. This thesis presents an electrical technique for junction-temperature sensing based on the measurement of the forward voltage and current of an LED at two...
