US Patent Issued to BAIDU USA on July 8 for "Silicon based microchannel fluid and thermoelectric cooler for electronic chips" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,354,925, issued on July 8, was assigned to BAIDU USA LLC (Sunnyvale, Calif.).

"Silicon based microchannel fluid and thermoelectric cooler for electronic chips" was invented by Tianyi Gao (Sunnyvale, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A cold plate for cooling microchip. Fluid channels are formed in a semiconductor plate, each channel being defined by sidewalls. The sidewalls are doped with series of interchanging n-type and p-type regions, thereby generating a plurality of p-n junction in each sidewall. Electrical contacts are provided across the p-n junctions, thereby creating a plurality of thermoelectric cooling (TEC) devices within ...
