In this study, we have fabricated a 368 nm LED with an epitaxial Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) contact layer. We analyze the thermal performance of the flip-chip LED with a symmetric electrode and metal reflective layer, applying ANSYS to build a coupled electro-thermal finite element model (FEM) of the temperature distribution in the multiple quantum wells (MQWs). We compare our system with the traditional Au-bump flip-chip LED and a flip-chip LED with a Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) layer. The simulation results have shown that the flip-chip LED with a metal reflective layer and symmetric electrode exhibits better heat dissipation performance, particularly at high input power. The influence of the insulating layer on the LED chip junction temperature is also examined. The simulation data establish an effect due to the thermal conductivity of the insulating layer in terms of heat dissipation, but this effect is negligible at an insulation layer thickness ≤1 µm.
