Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a thin film thermoelectric cooler. The cooler may have a high packing density that provides good cooling performance. The cooler may be formed by forming a first set of cooling elements, depositing a conformal insulating layer on the first set, then forming a second set of cooling elements between the first set of elements.
