Fabrication And Characterization

This study reports on the fabrication and characterization of two prototype thermoelectric devices constructed of either silicon (Si) or bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanowire arrays. The growth mechanisms and fabrication procedures of the Si and Bi2Te3 devices are different as described in this paper. To characterize the thermoelectric device components, current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were first used to estimate their performance. For the Si device, the I-V characteristics suggest ohmic contacts at the metal-semiconductor junction. For the Bi2Te3 device, the I-V characteristics curve showed a rectifying contact. Either low doping of the Bi2Te3 or surface contamination, i.e. native oxide, may cause the rectifying contact. The reversible Peltier effects occurring within the Si device were analyzed using a micro-thermocouple. Results indicated possible limitations of using Si nanowire arrays for the thermoelectric device.

This study involves the fabrication and measurement of a flexible thermoelectric generator (FTG) using micromachining and electroplating processes. The area of the FTG is 46 × 17 mm2, and it is composed of 39 thermocouples in series. The thermoelectric materials that are used for the FTG are copper and nickel. The fabrication process involves patterning a silver seed layer on the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrate using a computer numerical control (CNC) micro-milling machine. Thermoelectric materials, copper and nickel, are deposited on the PMMA substrate using an electroplating process. An epoxy polymer is then coated onto the PMMA substrate. Acetone solution is then used to etch the PMMA substrate and to transfer the thermocouples to the flexible epoxy film. The FTG generates an output voltage (OV) as the thermocouples have a temperature difference (ΔT) between the cold and hot parts. The experiments show that the OV of the FTG is 4.2 mV at ΔT of 5.3 K and the output power is 429 nW at ΔT of 5.3 K. The FTG has a voltage factor of 1 μV/mm2K and a power factor of 19.5 pW/mm2K2. The FTG reaches a curvature of 20 m−1.
