Patent ID: 8178153

Claim:
A method for fabricating a heat transfer control structure comprising: providing a semiconductor heat source material having a first Debye temperature; forming a heat transfer control nanoscale film comprising a heat transfer control material having a second Debye temperature in direct contact with the semiconductor heat source material, wherein the difference between the first Debye temperature and the second Debye temperature is no greater than 100° K; and forming a metal heat sink material in direct contact with the heat transfer nanoscale film, the metal heat sink material has a third Debye temperature, wherein the difference between the second Debye temperature and the third Debye temperature is no greater than 100° K, wherein the heat transfer nanoscale film provides an enhanced heat transfer between the semiconductor heat source material and the metal heat sink material in comparison with the absence of the at least one heat transfer control layer, wherein the enhanced heat transfer results from the difference between the first Debye temperature and the second Debye temperature, and the difference between the second Debye temperature and the third Debye temperature.
