    Abstract: An embodiment of the disclosure provides an electronic device including a power supply, an optical to electrical converter and a controller. The power supply outputs a first electric power. The optical to electrical converter receives an infrared light beam and converts the infrared light beam to a second electric power. The controller is coupled to the power supply and the optical to electrical converter. The controller operates in a first mode and a second mode. When the controller operates in the first mode, the controller is activated by the second electric power and after the controller is activated, the controller operates in the second mode and drives the power supply. Then, the controller receives the first electric power and stops receiving the first electric power for operation.

The silicon substrate includes a substrate body, a plurality of through vias and at least one heat dissipating area. The substrate body has a surface, and the material of the substrate body is silicon. The through vias penetrate the substrate body, and each of the through vias has a conductive material therein. The heat dissipating area is disposed on the surface of the substrate body and covers at least two through vias. The heat dissipating area is made of metal, and the through vias inside the heat dissipating area have same electrical potential. Thus, the heat in the through vias is transmitted to the heat dissipating area, and since the area of the heat dissipating area is large, the silicon substrate has good heat dissipation efficiency.
