A cooling device for an element such as a microprocessor in a computer,
and a process for manufacturing the cooling device. The cooling device
provides an effective structure of cooling a microprocessor by providing
a metallic filler layer and a metal plate layer spreading out heat
generated from the microprocessor, and thereby effectively thermally
conducting heat away from the microprocessor. Further, a semiconductor
thermoelectric module can be utilized to further cool the microprocessor.
