Challenges of COB applications compared to SMD Selection of appropriate surface metallization and materials compatible with COB and SMT process steps Selection of process sequence (COB prior SMT or vice versa) Small pad geometries (die bond pad size 200 x 120 µm and smaller) Handling of small dies (down to 200 x 200 µm²) on wafer tape Availability of bare dies Pad routing vs. pad size vs. minimum pitch Surface cleanliness (avoid any possible contamination on surfaces, e.g. fingerprints, cleaning residues, outgassings, flux residues,oxides) Surface topography (no scratches, no brush marks, low roughness Ra < 0.5 µm, no local defects on bonding pads) Lifetime and reliability of silicone encapsulated wire bonds (interaction of loop strength, loop shape, thermal load, vibration load, material selection)

As Rp and Ri are different for every die, even within one lot, each LED must be calibrated.

Therefore the record transient is fitted with a biexponential curve with offset. The first half-value period is related to the thermal equilibration of the junction with the LED die, the second for the equilibration of the die with the substrate. The offset is simplified sum for the equilibration with the ambient and the final forward voltage at ambient temperature.
