Progress in and Outlook for Cryogenic Microcooling
Haishan Cao, H.J.M. ter Brake
Abstract
Many electronic devices benefit from operating at cryogenic temperatures, but applications are seriously hampered by the large mismatch between those devices and available cooling technologies, in terms of size and cooling power. This review discusses modern microscale cryocooling technologies, including their operating principles, scaling limitations, and manufacture. Opportunities and challenges in the field are outlined.
