Project Number: KD01AMX
Operating integrated circuits at near-cryogenic temperatures is associated with major improvements, at considerably less cost than chip redesigns or technology scale-downs. Yet, present cooling methods are too large and consume too much power for practical adoption in small products. Using thermo-electric technology, novel assembly techniques and optimal control algorithms, ICECAP (thermoelectric Cooler for elECtronics APplications) shall develop a compact module that can be integrated within a multitude of portable devices.
The technology can be translated into small devices such as high speed cameras, low light microscopes, radio receivers as well as vaccine transport systems.
