Research Abstract |
The self-cooling device has been developed by combining the commercial n-channel power MOSFET and single-crystalline Sb doped n-type and/or B doped p-type silicon wafers in order to improve heat removal or cooling. We find for the first time that the average temperature of the upper side on the power MOSFET with the n-type silicon wafer is cooled down about 2℃, in which the electric current of 40A flows from lower to upper direction of the self-cooling device. This certainly warrants future work on the improvement of the measurement condition.
