Abstract

The microscale inorganic light-emitting diodes (μ-ILEDs) create novel opportunities in biointegrated applications such as wound healing acceleration and optogenetics. Analytical expressions, validated by finite element analysis, are obtained for the temperature increase of a rectangular μ-ILED device on an orthotropic substrate, which could offer an appealing advantage in controlling the heat flow direction to achieve the goal in thermal management. The influences of various parameters (e.g., thermal conductivities of orthotropic substrate, loading parameters) on the temperature increase of the μ-ILED are investigated based on the obtained closed-form solutions. These results provide a novel route to control the temperature distribution in the μ-ILED system and provide easily interpretable guidelines to minimize the adverse thermal effects.
