Abstract:
The cooling device of nanoelectronic devices is made from a p-n junction in which the heat is producing holes in the p regions and electrons in the n region, and the electrons from the p region can move to the n region as in the process described in Chapin et al. (1954) [1], and the resulting current is producing heat on a thermocouple, which is preferably containing Constantan as that presented by Juarez-Acosta et al. (2016) [2]. It is well known that during annealing at 300-350℃ are produced thermal donors which are believed to be interstitial oxygen, and which are doubly ionized at room T providing each two free electrons as presented by Tomassini et al. (2016) [3]. Donors which are ionized at higher temperature, 50-100℃ are suitable for the cooling device.
