Claim 16:
17. A method of forming a thermoelectric semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
attaching a heat dissipating semiconductor module to a substrate, the heat dissipating semiconductor module comprising a controller die and a thermoelectric semiconductor die, the thermoelectric semiconductor die being doped with p-n regions such that a temperature gradient or voltage potential between first and second surfaces of the thermoelectric semiconductor die results in cooling of the controller die;
attaching one or more flash memory dies to the substrate adjacent to the heat dissipating semiconductor module;
electrically coupling the heat dissipating semiconductor module to the substrate; and
electrically coupling the one or more flash memory dies to the substrate, wherein the substrate facilitates electrical communication between the controller die and the one or more flash memory dies.
