Abstract

A circuit board with a heat-recovery function includes a substrate, a heat-storing device, and a thermoelectric device. The heat-storing device is embedded in the substrate and connected to a processor for performing heat exchange with the processor. The thermoelectric device embedded in the substrate includes a first metal-junction surface and a second metal-junction surface. The first metal-junction surface is connected to the heat-storing device for performing heat exchange with the heat-storing device. The second metal-junction surface is joined with the first metal-junction surface, in which the thermoelectric device generates an electric potential by a temperature difference between the first metal-junction surface and the second metal-junction surface.
