COOLED CMOS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY.

Author(s) : LITTLE W. A.

Summary

THE CMOS (COMPLEMENTARY METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR) CHIPS THAT FORM THE HEART OF PERSONAL COMPUTERS AND WORKSTATIONS, CAN ALL BE OPERATED AT SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED SPEEDS WITH GREATER RELIABILITY WHEN COOLED TO CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES. IN ADDITION, CHIPS DESIGNED FOR CRYOGENIC OPERATION CAN HAVE GREATER FUNCTIONALITY AND GREATER INHERENT SPEED. THESE BENEFITS ARE SUBSTANTIAL BUT FOR THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY TO MAKE LARGE SCALE USE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY, A LOW COST, EFFICIENT, HIGHLY RELIABLE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM IS NEEDED TO PROVIDE 20 TO 50 WATTS OF REFRIGERATION IN THE RANGE FROM -40 TO -140 DEG C.
