Abstract:
1. A power supply system, comprising: a substrate having a fluid channel formed therein; a pump allowing a conductive fluid to flow through the fluid channel formed within the substrate and cool an associated semiconductor integrated circuit; a magnet which applies a magnetic field to the conductive fluid in a portion of the fluid channel perpendicularly to a direction of flow of the conductive fluid; an anode and a cathode which are respectively provided on two opposing inner surfaces of the fluid channel so as to sandwich the portion to which the magnetic field is applied, and in parallel to the direction of application of the magnetic field, wherein the power supply system employs electromotive force induced between the anode and the cathode to drive the semiconductor integrated circuit, and the anode and the cathode are provided in parallel to the semiconductor integrated circuit such that the anode is disposed on the semiconductor integrated circuit side of the fluid channel and the cathode is disposed opposite to the semiconductor integrated circuit side of the fluid channel.
