Abstract

See full text

The stable cavity-induced two-phase heat transfer in silicon microchannels mitigates the flow of instabilities associated with two-phase (liquid/vapor) flow in microchannels. This is accomplished by etching microscopic cavities in the base of each microchannel using photolithography techniques. Each cavity is used to promote controlled nucleation activity. The microchannels with cavities are able to be used in heat sinks to cool a variety of electronic components.
