    Abstract: The invention is notably directed to an integrated circuit package (10c). Said package has a layer structure with ICs and electrodes (17) arranged in electrical connection with a layer (16) of the layer structure. The package further comprises one or more fluid circuit sections (19), each meant to receive a respective electrolyte solution (or two distinct solutions, see the dual flow redox mode described below). Each solution involved has soluble electroactive species. A fluid section is designed to receive and allow an electrolyte solution to contact corresponding electrodes, such as to supply power to the ICs, in operation. As electrodes are integrated to the package, electrical power can be supplied close to the ICs, thereby improving efficiency of the power supply. Finally, as a liquid is involved in-situ, suitable heat removal can be contemplated, it being noted that electrical power delivery and heat removal needs are congruent.
