Abstract
A system and method for active array temperature sensing and cooling. The system includes an active temperature sensing layer, a thermoelectric cooling layer and a heatsink layer. The temperature sensing layer is formed of temperature sensing elements that sense the temperature gradient across an unevenly heated region of the active array substrate. The thermoelectric cooling layer controls the temperature gradient sensed by the temperature sensing layer. The heatsink layer includes a plurality of cooling channels for absorbing thermal energy from the unevenly heated region. The system is under the control of a process control computer.
