    摘要: Application of a potential difference across a doped region formed on an integrated circuit allows management of thermal energy directly on the chip surface. Individual temperature control cells are formed by ion implanting N- and P-type dopant into adjacent regions, and then forming a metal bridge across the similarly positioned ends. Placing a potential drop across metal contacts of the cell changes the temperature of the contacts relative to that of the electrically conducting bridge. Fabrication of arrays of temperature control cells of various shapes and sizes permits extremely precise heating and cooling of specific regions of the integrated circuit. Management of thermal energy on the IC in accordance with the present invention may be enhanced by forming arrays of temperature control cells possessing multiple tiers.

    摘要: A plurality of n-type bar-shaped devices (51) consisting of an n-type thermoelectric semiconductor and a plurality of p-type bar-shaped devices (52) consisting of a p-type thermoelectric semiconductor are regularly disposed or fixed through an insulating layer (50) to form a thermoelectric device block (53). End portions of the n-type bar shaped device (51) and the p-type bar-shaped device (52) are connected with an interconnection conductor (58a) on an upper surface (53a) and a lower surface (53b), which will be interconnecting end faces of the thermoelectric device block (53), to form a plurality of thermocouples connected in series. In addition, a pair of terminal conductors (58b, 58b) which is electrically connected with bar-shaped devices (51a, 52a) at least on one end portion and the other end portion of the n-type and p-type bar-shaped devices (51, 52) connected in series is formed on end face (53c) excluding the upper surface (53a) and the lower surface (53b) which will be an interconnecting end face of the thermoelectric device block (53), and a lead wire is connected to the terminal conductors (58b, 58b).

    摘要: A chip mount structure called “subcarrier” and semiconductor device capable of efficiently retaining the temperature of a semiconductor element at a constant level by a Peltier cooler without degrading the signal transmission characteristics of a module even when the atmospheric environment for use in the module changes in outside air temperature are provided. The subcarrier includes an element support unit that is high in thermal conductivity and also an element wiring unit of low thermal conductivity. Increasing the thermal conductivity of element support unit makes it possible to provide superior heat conduction between the semiconductor element and Peltier cooler whereas decreasing the element wiring unit's thermal conductivity enables elimination of radiation and absorption or exchange of heat from the top and side surfaces thereof, which in turn leads to an ability to greatly suppress or minimize the thermal load relative to the Peltier cooler.
