Patent ID: 7806168

Claim:
A device for fluid cooled micro-scaled heat exchange, the device comprising: a plurality of substantially parallel micro-scaled regions having a fluid inlet side and a fluid outlet side configured to permit flow of fluid therethrough; a plurality of inlet channels, interleaved between the micro-scaled regions and coupled to the fluid inlet side of each micro-scaled region, wherein a direction of fluid flow at the inlet side in adjacent micro-scaled regions is in substantially opposite directions; a plurality of outlet channels, interleaved between the micro-scaled regions and coupled to the fluid outlet side of each micro-scaled region, wherein the direction of fluid flow at the outlet side in adjacent micro-scaled regions is in substantially opposite directions; and a spreader region, wherein the spreader region comprises a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is positioned on and coupled to a heat source, and wherein the second side is coupled to the plurality of micro-scaled regions.
