Abstract
A best benchmark of Si-nanowire (NW) thermoelectric (TE) power generator has been achieved by our proposed planar device architecture compatible with CMOS process technology. The TE power density corresponds to 12 μW/cm2, which is recorded at an externally applied temperature difference of only 5 K. The demonstration opens up a pathway to cost effective autonomous internet of things (IoT) application utilizing environmental and body heats.
