  • Systems and methods for cooling microelectronic devices using oscillatory devices
    Publication number: 20030222341
    Abstract: Microelectromechanical (MEMS) oscillatory devices are placed adjacent a face of a microelectronic substrate and configured to oscillate to dissipate at least some heat that is generated by the microelectronic substrate during operation thereof. The MEMS oscillatory devices can be configured to oscillate to disrupt the thermal boundary layer that is formed adjacent the face of the microelectronic substrate, which may limit heat dissipation therefrom. MEMS oscillatory devices may be far less susceptible to wear and breakdown than MEMS rotary devices, such as fans.
