Abstract

In this work two alternative approaches are introduced for automatically integrating large numbers of several μms long Si NWs in lateral thermoelectric devices. Both cases being planar require a thermally isolated platform to be defined by silicon micromachining. This opens the path to all-silicon thermal harvesters, which can be built in large volumes offering a cost-effective energy harvesting solution where thermal gradients are present.
