Integrated Metal Substrates Improve LED Thermal Management

Compared with standard FR4, integrated metal substrates deliver valuable thermal management improvements for LEDs, enabling higher light output and greater reliability, writes Nico Bruijnis. As with power transistors, the performance and longevity of high-brightness LEDs depends upon effective thermal management. Accordingly, LED manufacturers are adopting similar package design techniques to those now seen in surface-mounted power devices.
