1. An electronic assembly having thermal cooling fluid comprising:

  • a housing generally defining a sealed fluid compartment;

    an electronic device disposed within the sealed fluid compartment in the housing, wherein the electronic device comprises a semiconductor material;

    an inlet port including a first sealed coupler in fluid communication with the sealed fluid compartment for receiving a cooling fluid;

    an outlet port including a second sealed coupler in fluid communication with the sealed fluid compartment for passing the cooling fluid out of the housing a circuit board comprising a substrate having electrical circuitry, wherein the electronic device is mounted to the circuit board and the circuit board comprises first and second openings, wherein the electric device is connected to the circuit board and, wherein the first and second sealed couplers are in fluid communication with the first and second openings of the circuit board; and

    fluid flow channels defined by at least one surface of the electronic device such that fluid in the fluid flow channels is in fluid communication with the electronic device within the housing, said fluid flow channels allowing fluid to flow from the inlet port through the fluid flow channels and to the outlet port such that the fluid is forced to pass into the sealed compartment and through the fluid flow channels in fluid communication with the electronic device to cool the electronic device and exit out the outlet port.
