Abstract:A study on the temperature sensing capability of a light-emitting diode ͑LED͒ has been made. Dependence of I-V characteristics as a function of temperature is used as a temperature sensing mechanism. It is found that the temperature voltage characteristics of a GaP LED are quite linear from 77 to 533 K. The measured sensitivity of the diode is 5.31 mV/K at 1 pA and is 2.34 mV/K at 0.1 mA. Since the reverse saturation current of LED is less than fempto-ampere range, it is possible to operate the thermometer at … Show more
