Abstract
A system for extending the life span of electronic components in a high temperature well. A thermal electric cooler is located in a position thermally communicating with the electronic component in the well. The thermal electric cooler lowers the temperature of the electronic component to a temperature that retards the deterioration of the electronic component, and is particularly useful in well completion tools requiring an extended life. The cold side of the thermal electric cooler can comprise a multi chip module directly bonded to the electric component to reduce the mass and size of a packaged electronic component or integrated circuit formed with more than one electronic component.
