Micropelt: Ultra-Small Peltier Coolers
Ultra-small TE cooler.
Freiburg, Germany — Micropelt GmbH has made a significant technology leap with its ultra-small, microchip thermoelectric coolers (TECs). The new MPC-D303 Series, one of the company's smallest TECs with a cold side area of only 0.98 square millimeters (mm2), supports a maximum temperature difference (delta T) of over 60 Kelvin (K). This increased delta T opens possibilities for laser and photonic sensor manufacturers.

The new product line has a cooling power of up to 100 watts/cm2 and can realize temperature changes faster than 180K/second. It is especially suited for highly dynamic thermal control with 10K ramps in just a few milliseconds. Its high cooling power density optimally supports small devices' high cooling requirements.

Based on the company's exclusive thin film thermoelectric technology, the new cooler's core is sputtered material that can be structured to exactly match the thermal and electrical requirements of many applications. This match can reduce overall energy consumption and improve thermal management.

The MPC-D303, like all of the company's products, is fabricated on silicon wafer using standard semiconductor processes. The device soldering temperature is 300°C and uses lead-free solder. It has a maximum operating temperature of 200°C.

According to the company, this chip-sized thermoelectric cooler offers superior performance for chip scale thermal management and fast, precise temperature control. Perfectly adapted designs, from less than 1mm2 to 25mm2, each with customizable thermal and electrical properties including sensor integration, open new dimensions of thermal management.

Applications include laser and sensor temperature management, micro-scale thermal cycling, lab-on-a-chip, single well to large array PCR cycling, technical device characterization, and printed circuit board embedded device cooling.
