Publication number: 20140138075Abstract: A heat exchanger suitable for cooling a heat source is provided, wherein a bypass channel formed in the heat exchanger has a width greater than a width of other channels to reduce a flow resistance of a fluid and a pumping power for driving a system. That is, under the same pumping power loss, more fluid is driven to achieve a better heat dissipation effect. By applying the heat exchanger, electronic devices are bonded to a top of the heat exchanger through a supporting substrate. In this way, heat generated when the electronic devices are is transferred to the heat exchanger through the supporting substrate and dissipated to the outside via the heat exchanger. Since the distance of heat transfer is decreased, the thermal resistance generated by an interface between the devices is reduced to improve heat transfer efficiency and heat dissipation effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Shu-Jung Yang, Yu-Lin Chao, Chun-Kai Liu, Chi-Chuan Wang, Kun-Ying Liou

Publication number: 20140141561Abstract: Semiconductor bodies, such as for solid state electronics and photovoltaic cells, have surfaces that are textured for processing, charge carrying and photovoltaic reasons. Absorbing regions may have grooves that reduce loss of solar energy by reflection. Semiconductor bodies also include metallizations for conducting electrical carriers, which may be channels. Production processes take advantage of the topography to govern which locations will receive a specific processing, and which locations will not. Liquids are treated directly into zones. They migrate throughout a zone and act upon the locations contacted. They do not migrate to other zones, due to impediments to flow, such as edges, walls and ridges. Liquid may also be deposited and migrate within a zone, to block or mask a subsequent activity, such as etching.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Emanuel M.
