Point cooling advances for hot ICs
- EDN, 2009.3.5
Engineers have for years been suggesting using thermoelectric films to cool hot ICs because the films develop a temperature difference between their surfaces when you apply a voltage across them. The problems of getting the film next to the IC, establishing a good thermal connection, and packaging the whole thing in a way that allows the heat to escape have often defeated the undertaking, however. Also, in SOCs (systems on chips) and advanced microprocessors, heat often concentrates in small local areas of the die, so that uniformly cooling the die may be ineffective.
