Abstract

A thermoelectric cooling (TEC) embedded electronics system having a substrate with a first surface and a second surface, and constructed of a thermally and electrically conductive material, and a die. The die is configured to be supported from the first surface of the substrate and in thermal contact with the substrate. The die forms a heat generating component. A TEC material element is used which has a first surface and a second surface and is configured to be positioned at least partially against the second surface of the substrate. A heat pipe is provided which has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to be in thermal contact with the second surface of the TEC material, and the second portion is configured to sink heat generated by the die and transmitted through the substrate and the TEC material element.
