Abstract
A method of controlling temperature in a semiconductor device that includes a stacked device configuration is disclosed. The method includes providing a Peltier element having a metal-based heat sink formed above a first substrate of the stacked device configuration and a metal-based heat source formed above a second substrate of the stacked device configuration, and establishing a current flow through the Peltier element when the semiconductor device is in a specified operating phase.
