eTEC is a thin film embedded thermoelectric cooler that addresses thermal management needs. Functions as a miniature, solid-state heat pump. Is ideal for cooling hot spots that result from localized areas of high heat flux on an IC. Is manufactured using semiconductor processing techniques. Said to maximize current flow and minimize heat flowing back from the hot side to the cold side of the IC. Adds 100 µm of height to a heat spreader. Reportedly has a millisecond response time to maintain precise temperature. Pumps a max. heat flux of 150 W/cm2, with some designs delivering as much as 400 W/cm2.
