[0044] The preparation method of the portable high-aspect-ratio interlayer connection miniature vertical structure thermoelectric device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0045] (1). The insulating material is selected as the substrate, and the bottom conductive electrode layer 2 is deposited by physical vapor deposition method PVD, electroless plating method, chemical vapor deposition method CVD, and magnetron sputtering. The photolithography mask method in the micro-nano processing technology is used to realize the area division of the bottom conductive electrode layer 2, and dry etching or wet etching is used to remove the excess material of the bottom conductive electrode layer 2.

Embodiment 2

[0070] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the electrochemical deposition method is not used, and the magnetron sputtering method is directly used to deposit materials on the substrate sequentially, eliminating the subsequent electrode etching steps. The process is simple, but the preparation method is relatively expensive. Choose SiO with single-sided oxide layer 2 Silicon wafer as the base material, SiO 2 As an insulating layer to isolate the bottom conductive silicon wafer.
