Abstrakt: In this study, cup-shaped copper sheets were developed to improve heat dispassion for high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs) array module (3 × 3, 4 × 4, and 5 × 5) using an electroplating technique. The cup-shaped copper sheets were directly contacted with sapphire to enhance the heat dissipation of the chip itself. The lateral emitting light extraction and heat dissipation of high-power LEDs were enhanced and efficient. The surface temperature was not only decreasing but also uniform for each LED chip with the cup-shaped copper heat spreader adoption. The high thermal transmitting performance of cup-shaped copper heat spreader allows thermal resistance reducing 0.7, 0.6, and 0.7 K/W of 3 × 3, 4 × 4, and 5 × 5 LED array module, respectively. In addition, the light output power was increased of 14, 13, and 12% with 3 × 3, 4 × 4, and 5 × 5 LEDs array module using cup-shaped copper sheet at high current injection. High heat dissipation performance and light extraction were obtained by cup-shaped copper sheet with copper bulk and silver mirror.
