  • a remarkable factor in the present function of microcircuits concerning both techniques and economy are the cooling devices of microcircuits. According to investigations the loss of power of microcircuits per unit area will continue to increase in the future. Development of wireless terminal equipment to ever greater efficiency even leads to more effective implementation of microcircuits. Regarding efficiency the equipment includes several parts usable for power transmission, as for instance thermal joints, heat distributors and cooling ribs. In the equipment there is need for small and reliable advantageous water coolers, heat machines, heat transmitting materials and thermoelectric coolers. Furthermore, among microcircuit packages there is need to develop new types of packages, by means of which it is possible to minimize heat resistance between the air of microcircuit and package.

  • An example of fluidics is the write head of ink jet printers of today, where this technique is used maybe more extensively.
  • micro channels are used, from which the ink vaporizes and thus a small amount of ink drifts onto the paper.
  • Micro-fluidics has especially developed the fields of chemistry and biochemistry, where by means of MEMS technology new products are developed, which renew the methods in every day life. By these methods one has succeeded to compensate the laboratory with microcircuit, which is able to analyse a reliable result from a very small amount of samples. The benefit of this is, for instance, by analysis of food quality, bacteria, poisons and allergens, without having to send samples to a traditional laboratory.
  • micro-fluidics for cooling of microcircuits many different components and methods are developed. Among these the most known are the micro channels, micro motors and different valves, by means of which the flow of coolant is regulated. As coolant besides normal water other liquids are developed. The liquids have often many properties, which influence the use of them. Such ones are for instance the boiling point, thermal conductivity and viscosity and surface tension. Of importance is also the size of the dielectric constant of liquid and whether there are charge carriers in the liquid. Normal arrangement by microcircuit cooling is a cooling rib including hundreds of micro channels and placed in direct contact with the micro circuit. Liquid flowing through the micro channels is pumped by a micro pump and cooled in a micro- size heat machine that releases the heat to the package outside.
  • Such an arrangement is a typical so called SOP structure (System-On-Packet).
  • SOP structure System-On-Packet
  • problems There are in present micro-mechanical cooling systems many problems. The first of them is the insufficient possibility to integrate micro channels connected to the cooling system, which transmit cooling liquid quite close to the electronics to be cooled. This works mainly combining complicated cooling structures with a normal micro circuit. Then the achievement easily includes structures built in several layers, which means manifold raise of price of the of the whole system compared with the price of the actual circuit of electronics.
  • the SOI-microcircuit includes an insulating oxide coating, the thermal conductivity of which is poor. Then the heat transmission towards the substrate reached by the circuit remains poor and especially by manufacture of active components notable inconveniences arise.
  • cooling systems In cooling systems according to present technique separately a great number of micro channels are needed, which take much space, and ,which in order to work, need structures that distribute cooling water, as taperings and bypass manifolds. These raise the price of the system and add joints, which reduce the reliability of the whole.
  • at least one micro pump is needed, to which the pumping is concentrated.
  • Such a pump includes a stator and a rotor, which wear mechanically, and is complicated to manufacture. It must often be made on separate piece of the microcircuit, so the number of microcircuits grows.
  • a problem in microcircuits according to present technique is the distribution of heat onto a small area. This area is determined the by components that use high power on a small surface area, a power transistor for instance. A remarkable part of power is released as heat onto a small area. Cooling elements, which are difficult to get close to enough the heat source, due to their big size, can therefore be called powerless, even if their apparent cooling capacity is high.
  • cooling systems In systems including many microcircuits according to the present technique, cooling systems must be built between several physically separate microcircuits. The reliability and operating life of the cooling system reduces, due to the complexity of the cooling system. Likewise the technologies of packages get more complicated and to packages new technical demands are made.
  • actuators according to the present technique the basic division is between magnetostrictive and electrostatic actuators. It is possible to produce also push forces with magnetic actuators, while with electrostatic actuators pulling forces only. It is more difficult to produce magnetic actuators and so the price is a remarkable restriction in taking them to use.

  • An advantage of the liquid-filled actuator according to the invention is that by means of the actuator power can be transmitted from one actuator part to another or between actuators. By power transmission the liquid does not loose much by small frequencies, so by power transmission there is no great loss of energy. Further, by means of the actuator an attractive i.e. water-repellent force can be caused, when the electrostatic power, regardless of the voltage polarity, is a force that pulls electrodes together. Water- repellent powers can in a well-known, manner be produced magnetically, so that for production of water-repellent power by means of the actuator according to the invention a more simple and more profitable structure can be achieved than by means of magnets integrated with difficulty.
