Abstract
A microelectronic device including a substrate having a semiconductor material containing an embedded thermoelectric cooler with thermally anisotropic mesas between the cold terminal and the hot terminal of the embedded thermoelectric cooler adjacent to a heat source; the adjacent embedded thermoelectric cooler providing a temperature reduction for the heat source resulting in increased safe operating area (SOA) for the microelectronic device. The thermally anisotropic mesas are formed in parallel with deep trenches used as isolation in the microelectronic device.
