Application: Systems and methods for microfluidic thermal management (Patent ID: US20240198330A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a thermal management device that includes a microfluidic volume with thermal elements, a pumping membrane, and a pumping piezoelectric element to alter the volume of the microfluidic volume. The device also features ports for fluid flow and can be used in conjunction with a die or stacked die processor.
The method of thermal management outlined in the patent involves measuring the thermal demand of a heat-generating component, determining a target flow rate of working fluid through the microfluidic volume, and adjusting the volume based on this rate. The method also includes selectively opening inlet valves based on the local region of the thermal demand and utilizing pump piezoelectric elements to create waves for efficient cooling. Overall, the patent details an innovative approach to thermal management in electronic devices using microfluidic technology and piezoelectric elements.
