Abstract
A survey will be given on the state of the art of advanced thermoelectric microdevices “thermogenerators and Peltier coolers” mainly for the favourite material systems Bi2Te3- (V-VI), PbTe- (IV-VI) compounds, and silicon/germanium (IV-IV) alloys. Aspects of advanced nanoscaled architectures for low dimensional high efficient thermoelectric materials, so called high ZT materials, will be included. Recent results proof either the capability to implement low dimensional material into microthermoelectric devices or the wafer based microelectronic technologies for the fabrication of thermoelectric devices. Prospects for further R&D will be presented. The main emerging markets will be addressed.
