Effects on the reliability of an LED module by failures like A: delamination of die bond, B: crack in solder joint, C: delamination of dielectric layer of Al-IMS. The cracks and delamination block the thermal path and the temperature increases. The changes in the heat flow path can be observed by transient thermal analysis. For a more detailed description of an LED package, see Fig.  2 .
