Fabrication and Characterization of CMOS-MEMS Thermoelectric Micro Generators
This work presents a thermoelectric micro generator fabricated by the commercial 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and the post-CMOS process. The micro generator is composed of 24 thermocouples in series. Each thermocouple is constructed by p-type and n-type polysilicon strips. The output power of the generator depends on the temperature difference between the hot a...
متن کاملDesign and analysis of a thermoelectric generator for a heavy-duty vehicle in real road test
Heavy duty vehicles have a great share on fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gases in the world, while they waste two third of chemical energy of fuel. On the other hand, simplicity and long life of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered more and more to convert thermal energy to electrical one. In this paper a TEG designed in the exhaust system of Renault Midlum 195 Dxi Engine. Th...
متن کاملFlexible Micro Thermoelectric Generator based on Electroplated Bi2Te3
We present and discuss the fabrication process and the performance of a flexible micro thermoelectric generator with electroplated Bi2+xTe3-x thermocouples in a SU-8 mold. Demonstrator devices generate 278μWcm at ∆Tmeas=40K across the experimental set up. Based on model calculations, a temperature difference of ∆TG=21.4K across the generator is assumed. Due to the flexible design and the chosen...
متن کاملMicro Solar Thermal Power Harvesting using Thermoelectric Generator
ABSTRACT The use of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) in generating useful power from solar thermal energy is demonstrated. This device represents a portable and autonomous power generation system operating from solar power, capable of powering micro/nano systems. The TEG was integrated with a micro solar thermal collector plate to enhance the thermal radiation absorption capacity of the hot sid...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of a Mems Thermoelectric Generator for Energy Harvesting
This paper presents a technology platform to fabricate micro thermoelectric generators (μTEG) with thin-film thermopiles. The combination of bulk and surface micromachining processes allows the integration of in-plane thin-film thermopiles in a device with a cross-plane heat flux. Heat flux guiding structures are used to maximize the temperature difference across the thermopiles. FEM simulation...
