Problems solved by technology

The problem is that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is low
[0004] In addition, it is generally believed that only by chemical vapor deposition or ion beam sputtering can it be possible to obtain materials with quantum wells, line and dot structures. Compared with simple physical vapor deposition methods, these methods have large investment in equipment and complicated processes. , high production cost, etc.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for making a nano-micro meter multi holes germanium-silicon alloy pyroelectric material. The invention involve the preparation of nano-micro meter multi holes germanium-silicon alloy chips that contain silicon of nanometer size, In, InSb or Sb quantum wire or points. The silicon of nanometer and germanium-silicon quantum wires can be prepared by exploiting electrochemical corrosion, physical vapor phase deposition and secondary chemical corrosion. The multi holes germanium-silicon alloy metal chip comprises In, InSb or Sb and the general weight percentage of them is less than 2%; it has quantized structure of real-hollow combination for separating the actions of electrons and acoustic phonon and improving pyroelectricity property.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric (thermoelectric) semiconductor materials, and in particular provides a method for preparing a nano-microporous silicon-germanium alloy thermoelectric material, which involves nanoscale Si, Ge, In, InSb or Sb quantum wires or dots Nano-microporous silicon-germanium alloy sheets (Si 1-x Ge x (x=0-0.35))). Background technique [0002] The thermoelectric materials that have been practically used since the 1950s are all semiconductor materials. Among them, there is a problem that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is low. Scientists have done a lot of research work to improve the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials, but there has been no major progress. The dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) of thermoelectric materials has been hovering around 1, until the 1990s represented by American scientists Apply solid quantum theory to the research of thermoelectric materials and ...
