Problems solved by technology

The polymer material substrate cannot adapt to high-temperature annealing, reflow soldering and other processes in the process of device preparation, and there is a large Schottky contact resistance between gold, silver, copper electrode materials and thermoelectric arm materials, resulting in the flexible thermoelectric devices reported so far. There are disadvantages of low efficiency, high cost, and difficulty in integrating with silicon-based devices

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the field of thermoelectric technology, in particular to a flexible silicon-based nano-film thermoelectric device. Background technique: [0002] With the rapid increase of human demand for energy, non-renewable energy sources such as oil and natural gas have begun to be exhausted, and environmental pollution problems have emerged in the process of use. Therefore, the development and application of new energy materials and technologies have attracted much attention. Compared with renewable energy power generation systems such as solar energy and wind energy, the working medium of semiconductor thermoelectric devices is electrons conducted in solids, so it has no working medium leakage, no mechanical movement, no vibration and noise, long life, small size, It has the advantages of light weight, easy integration with other electronic and optoelectronic devices. [0003] Since 2013, with the rapid rise and rapid development of ...
