Previously, we reported two-phase capillary-based cooling using narrow (200 to 1000 ..mu..m) heater bridge copper inverse opal (CIO) wicks with heat flux level of 1400 Wcm -2 and superheat ~ 10 degrees C. Here, we demonstrate the area scaling of the proposed technology to a large-area micro-cooler for high-heat-flux cooling of microprocessors and power electronics. We developed a hybrid single/two-phase micro-cooler that relies on capillary-wicking in a 25-..mu..m-thick CIO with an open silicon microchannel 3D-manifold for liquid delivery and vapor extraction, achieving a high heat flux ~ 400 Wcm -2 over a heated area of 10 x 10 mm 2 . For a range of inlet water flowrates from 5 to 60 g(min) -1 , we achieved total thermal resistances and vapor qualities of 0.68 cm 2 degrees CW -1 to 0.2 cm 2 degrees CW -1 and 0.55 to 0.12, respectively. The flowrates are 10x smaller than those of conventional single- or two-phase microchannel cooling technology. The corresponding two-phase thermal resistances ranges from 0.05 to 0.02 cm 2 degrees CW -1 with temperature superheat of 8 to 6 degrees C, respectively. While the overall performance of the large-area (10 x 10 mm 2 ) capillary-based micro-cooler degraded compared to the previous demonstration of the technology for a heated area of 5 x 5 mm 2 , however, preliminary CFD modeling indicates that an improved manifold design will be able to achieve comparable performance.
