Disclosed herein are apparatus for a cooler device includes a manifold constructed at least partially of silicon oxide. The manifold includes an array of inlet channels and an array of outlet channels. Each inlet channel has a first depth. The array of outlet channels are interlaced with the array of inlet channels, Each outlet channel has a second depth that is larger than the first depth. Each of the array of outlet channels has a pair of sidewalls separating each outlet channel from adjacent inlet channels of the array of inlet channels.

Systems for cooler devices and cooling manifolds

A cooler device includes a cold plate and a manifold with fluid wicking structure. The cold plate includes an array of bonding posts and an array of fluid channels. Each bonding post of the array of bonding posts has a first height and is in contact with the manifold with fluid wicking structure. Each fluid channel of the array of fluid channels has a second height that is less than the first height. The array of fluid channels include a MIO secondary wick structure. The array of bonding posts is orthogonal to the array of fluid channels. The manifold with fluid wicking structure includes a plurality of spacer elements and a plurality of mesh layers. Each one of the plurality of spacer elements alternate with each one of the plurality of mesh layers in a stacked arrangement.
