Abstract:
Thermal electric generation (TEG) is a green energy technology that it has advantages of no-vibration, environmental, no noise, small volume, and long life expectancy. This article will review its current state of development and introduce its principal as well as a new approach by the large-scale integration (LSI) for high-power devices. Using off-shelf devices, we designed, studied, and measured some specified devices. In order to address the commercial fundamentals, we proposed a solution by utilizing LSI TEG to reduce cost. This solution can breakthrough a barrier in processing cost. The article will discuss manufacturability of TEG for future commercialization in a large scale.
