摘要：

The effect of chip area on the temperature-dependent light-output power (LOP) in GaInN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is investigated. The larger the chip size, the faster the reduction in LOP with increasing temperature becomes, indicating that increasing the size of LED chips, a technology trend for reducing the efficiency droop at high currents, is detrimental for high temperature-tolerant LEDs. In addition, it is found that regardless of chip size, the temperature-dependent LOP is identical for the LEDs operating at the same current density. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
