mirochannel heatsinking

[gcsutherland]

Has anyone looked into this method for heatsinking these new powerful diodes? I am in contact with a company and trying to see the cost for a custom microchannel heatsink with possible integration of TEC or some other form of active cooling. I am going to specify the dimensions to them based on the heatsink for the C6 because it is very common. Any input on this would be great.

The manifolded systems, with alternating inlet/outlet channels, help reduce the pressure drop issues, and increases the heat transfer.
