We report the fabrication and characterization of poly-Si nanowire transistors on flexible substrates. The nanowire transistors are fabricated on a SiO2/Si substrate using conventional CMOS processes, and then they are transferred onto polyimide substrates. The transfer process is performed by spin-coating of polyimide, curing (annealing) of the polyimide layer, and removal of the SiO2 sacrificial layer. The optimized curing condition results in the maximum bending of 150° with full recovery. The nanowire transistors exhibit transistor characteristics as a function of the backgate bias. Our new process can be applied to the fabrication of Si-nanowire transistors with larger mobilities.

AbstractWe report the fabrication and characterization of segmented element power generator modules of 16 x 16 thermoelectric elements consisting of 0.8 mm thick Bi2Te3 and 50 μm thick ErAs:(InGaAs)1-x(InAlAs)x with 0.6% ErAs by volume. Erbium Arsenide metallic nanoparticles are incorporated to create scattering centers for middle and long wavelength phonons, and to form local potential barriers for electron filtering. The thermoelectric properties of ErAs:(InGaAs)1-x(InAlAs)x were characterized in terms of electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient from 300 K up to 830 K. Generator modules of Bi2Te3 and ErAs:(InGaAs)1-x(InAlAs)x segmented elements were fabricated and an output power of 6.3 W was measured. 3D finite modeling shows that the performance of thermoelectric generator modules can further be enhanced by the improvement of the thermoelectric properties of the element materials, and reducing the electrical and thermal parasitic losses.
