Various active and passive cooling systems have been developed to solve thermal management problems. In this study, the effects of different types and heat transfer coefficients of heat sinks deposited with different thicknesses of copper or silver coating on COB LED operating performance were analyzed in practice. Electrolytic coatings of 10, 25 and 40 μm thickness were applied to 6 heat sinks of different sizes made of Etial 150 and 6063 aluminum alloys, and the most suitable coating thickness was calculated for 66 different COB LED-heat sink combinations. The results of two different theoretical calculations, thermal analysis performed with the ANSYS simulation program and experimental application are fully compatible with each other and in general, the optimum thickness was determined as 25 μm for copper-coated heat sinks and 10 μm for silver-coated heat sinks. It was observed that different coating thicknesses reduce the total thermal resistance value and the junction temperature and increase the illuminance level. Furthermore, coating costs, correlation analysis based on optimum coating thickness in COB LED-heat sink combinations, and the effects of geometric parameters on heat transfer and performance of heat sinks are also investigated. Considering the effects of ideal coating thickness on the lifetime, performance, reliability and efficiency of COB LEDs, it can be recommended as an alternative to existing commercial heat sinks in heat spreading applications based on the analysis results in the present study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18240,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing","volume":"201 ","pages":"Article 110096"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
