Abstract:

Electrical properties of a LED (light emitting diode) is simulated with the software of SILVACO,by using two-dimensional finite element method.The current distributions of three LEDs of different size are compared,and the relationship between the current density and L is found,which indicates that current uniformity can be improved by reducing the current expansion length(L).Five different kinds of power LEDs with a chip size of 1 mm×1 mm and with different electrode structures are simulated and compared,and the optimal electrode structure is found.
