Patent ID: 8035223

Claim:
A structure for thermal management, comprising: first and second substrates bonded together; at least one of the first and second substrates including at least one circuit element; an entrance through-hole having a length extending through a thickness of at least one of the first and second substrates; an exit through-hole having a length extending through a thickness of at least one of the first and second substrates; a first coolant channel formed in a space between the first and second substrates such that a fluid entering the entrance through-hole transits the first coolant channel and the exit through-hole to provide cooling to the circuit element; a bonding element forming a seal between the first and second substrates and having a thickness extending from a surface of at least one of the first and second substrates, and a space for the first coolant channel extending between the first and second substrates and separating the first and second substrates defined principally by said thickness of the bonding element.
