NOVELTY - The apparatus has thermoelectric micro-device with micro-platform (900) and multiple thermoelectric devices organized into first and second groups. The first group of thermoelectric devices is operated in Seebeck thermovoltaic mode in which voltage is generated responsive to temperature of first junction in first group. The second group is operated in Peltier cooling mode such that first junction of thermoelectric device in second group is cooled responsive to application of voltage to second group. Multiple nanowires electrically couple first junctions to second junctions.    USE - Apparatus for providing cooling and/or temperature control of integrated circuit and small-sized heat-generating electronic device.    ADVANTAGE - The electric current is passed in the appropriate direction through the junction causing both types of charge carriers to move away from the junction and convey heat away, thus cooling the junction. The thermoelectric devices are heavily doped at degenerate levels to reduce the series resistance of the nano-wire legs of the thermoelectric devices within the temperature gradient and to reduce the temperature coefficient of the Seebeck coefficient and source resistance to a minimum. By keeping device layer cool, the electrical thermal noise inherent in the output signal from integrated circuit is reduced. The Peltier cooling enables sensing for a reference null temperature, increases the sensor measurement accuracy, and permits a simplified readout that is a highly sensitive 1-bit signal level comparator. The array of thermoelectric devices is structurally programmed via circuit interconnects, to provide a desired electrical resistance and thermoelectric response.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an apparatus for providing cooling and/or temperature control.
