About Nextreme
Nextreme manufactures thin-film thermoelectric components that address most challenging thermal management and power generation needs of the semiconductor, photonics, consumer and defense/aerospace industries. Nextreme's miniature, thin-film eTEC offers an industry first - a micro-refrigerator the size of a piece of confetti that enables solid-state temperature control or power generation on a micro-scale, in close proximity source. eTECs operate as point-specific heat pumps for rapid cooling or heating of semiconductors and other electronics; for thermal management of fiber-optic laser controls integrated optoelectronics; or for power generation by converting otherwise wasted heat useful electricity.
