Abstract

The electronic component with heat transfer by boiling and condensation comprises heat exchange surfaces immersed in a heat conducting fluid constituted by the free ends of nanowires of a thermoelectric converter. An electrically insulating coating material with a low thermal conduction partially covers the nanowires above the heat conducting fluid. Each nanowire forms a thermocouple composed of two coaxial branches made from materials of different natures separated by a layer of electrically insulating material and electrically connected individually to the free end of the nanowire.
