Patent ID: 7723845

Claim:
A system for transferring heat, the heat transfer system comprising: an evaporator comprising a semiconductor layer having porous regions formed at predetermined regions; wherein a first surface of the semiconductor layer encapsulated by a cap structure via contacts at a first portion of non-porous regions of the semiconductor layer, a second surface of the semiconductor layer coupled to a chamber formed with a recessed region adjacent to the second surface of the semiconductor layer; and wherein the chamber is formed with at least one liquid inlet port and the cap structure is formed with at least one vapor outlet port; a condenser having at least one vapor inlet port and at least one liquid outlet port; at first set of channels to couple the at least one vapor outlet port of the evaporator with the at least one vapor inlet port of the condenser; a second set of channels to couple the at least one liquid outlet port of the condenser with the at least one liquid inlet port of the evaporator; and wherein the first and second sets of channels form a substantially hermetically sealed chamber between the evaporator and the condenser.
