Abstract:
A semiconductor microcooler is fabricated by forming fins in a semiconductor substrate and forming a metal layer upon the fins. A stacked microcooler may be formed by stacking a plurality of semiconductor microcoolers. The microcoolers may be positioned such that the fins of each microcooler are vertically aligned. The microcoolers may include an inlet passage to accept coolant and an outlet passage to expel the coolant. One or more microcoolers may be thermally connected to an electronic device heat generating device, such as an integrated circuit (IC) chip, or the like. Heat from the electronic device heat generating device may transfer to the one or more microcoolers. A flow of cooled liquid may be introduced through the passages and heat from the one or more microcoolers may transfer to the liquid coolant.
