Abstract:
1. An apparatus for implementing microscale thermoacoustic heat and power control for processors and three dimensional (3D) chip stacks comprising: a three dimensional (3D) chip stack; a heat sink associated with said 3D chip-stack; a thermoacoustic heat engine integrated with said 3D chip-stack; said thermoacoustic heat engine being used in cooperation with said heat sink associated with the 3D chip-stack; said thermoacoustic heat engine including an acoustic resonator connected to a thermoacoustic stack; and a plurality of predefined connecting layers spliced into said 3D chip-stack and directly connecting said 3D chip-stack to a first cool end of said thermoacoustic stack of said thermoacoustic heat engine, allowing said first cool end of said resonator to maintain temperature within said 3D chip-stack and to increase the efficiency of the heat sink.
