THERMAL DIODIC DEVICES FOR HIGH COOLING RATE APPLICATIONS AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

Thermal transfer devices and methods for manufacturing. A thermal diode Includes a device capable of controllably transferring thermal energy in one direction from one portion of the device to another portion of the device and to resist the transfer of thermal energy in the opposing direction. A metallic layer, e.g. silver, is applied to a substrate. The substrate has metallic, metallic coated or highly doped regions. The regions control the flow of current between devices that are bulit on the substrate.
