Abstract

A microcooling device and a method for its manufacture. The microcooling device has a high heat conductivity, is designed to accommodate electronic components on its exterior surface, and has a channel structure in its interior through which a coolant fluid can flow to carry heat away from the components. The channel structure is formed by a base substrate provided with a plurality of recesses and a cover layer externally covering the recesses, the cover layer being made from an electrically insulating and heat-conducting material, and being such that the electronic components can be mounted directly thereon.
