Thermoelectric Characteristics of n-Type Bi2Te3 and p-Type Sb2Te3 Thin Films Prepared by Co-Evaporation and Annealing for Thermopile Sensor Applications
A thermoelectric thin-film device consisting of n-type Bi2Te3 and p-type Sb2Te3 thin-film legs was prepared on a glass substrate by using co-evaporation and annealing process. The Seebeck coefficient and the power factor of the co-evaporated Bi2Te3 film were 130μV/K and 0.7 © 1014W/K2·m, respectively, and became substantially improved to 1160μV/K and 16 © 1014W/K2·m by annealing at 400°C for 20...
متن کاملOptimization of thermoelectric properties on Bi2Te3 thin films deposited by thermal co-evaporation
The optimization of the thermal co-evaporation deposition process for n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) thin films onto polyimide substrates for thermoelectric applications is reported. The influence of deposition parameters (evaporation rate and substrate temperature) on film composition and thermoelectric properties was studied for optimal thermoelectric performance. Energy-dispersive X-ray s...
متن کاملMicro Thermoelectric Cooler Fabrication: Growth and Characterization of Patterned Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3 Films
A column-type micro thermoelectric cooler is being fabricated using p-type Sb2Te3 and n-type Bi2Te3 films (approximately 4 μm thick). The films are grown by thermal co-evaporation and patterned on Cr/Au/Ti/Pt (hot) connectors, which are deposited onto a silicon dioxide coated wafer. The column height is limited by control of the Te deposition rate. Although a high substrate temperature during t...
متن کاملFabrication and characterization of (Bi2Te3)0.2(Sb2Te3)0.8 compounds thin films by flash evaporated deposition
Bi2Te3)0.2(Sb2Te3)0.8 compounds thin films on glass substrates are fabricated by a flash evaporated deposition method. In order to enhance the performance of the thin films, annealing in an argon atmosphere is carried out for 1 hour in the temperature range from 200 to 400 C. The structure of the thin films, in terms of homogeneity and crystalline quality, is investigated by means of x-ray mapp...
متن کاملOn-Chip Sensing of Thermoelectric Thin Film’s Merit
Thermoelectric thin films have been widely explored for thermal-to-electrical energy conversion or solid-state cooling, because they can remove heat from integrated circuit (IC) chips or micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices without involving any moving mechanical parts. In this paper, we report using silicon diode-based temperature sensors and specific thermoelectric devices to charac...
