Abstract
A method for manufacturing a thermoelectric cooling mechanism for an integrated circuit is disclosed. Initially, electric circuits are formed on one side of a wafer. Subsequently, thermoelectric cooling devices are formed on an opposite side of the same wafer. Specifically, the thermoelectric cooling devices are formed by depositing a first conductive layer, depositing a layer of Peltier material on top of the first conductive layer, building a set of N regions and P regions within the Peltier material layer, and depositing a second conductive layer on top of the Peltier material layer.
