초소형 박막의 열전 발전모듈은 작은 부피와 한번 설치시 교체없이 지속적인 전원공급으로 소형의 센서 노드에 전원으로 각광 받고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 In Plane방식의 PIN Junction의 박막형 열전소자를 제작하여 보았다. 열전 박막인 P-type의 $BiSbTe_3$와 N-type의 $Bi_2Te_3$은 (001)GaAs 기판에 MOCVD(Metal Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition)방식으로 성장하였으며 전극으로는 E-Beam Evaporator를 이용하여 금(Au), 알루미늄(Al)을 사용하였다. 열전박막의 두께는 MOCVD의 성장시간과 온도 MO-x 가스의 압력으로 조절하여 주었다. 제작결과 1Pairs 당 약 $63{\mu}V$/K을 나타내었다.

Micro thermoelectric generator has been attractive for the alternative power source to operate the wireless sensor node. In this paper, we designed the column-type micro thermoelectric device and their device characteristics were measured. n-type Bi2Te3 and p-type BiSbTe3 thermoelectric thin films were grown on (001) GaAs substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) and they were pattemed. The height of thermoelectric film were controlled by the deposition time, temperature and MO-x gas pressure. Seebeck coefficient was measured at room temperature and hole concentration and electrical resistivity of thermoelectric film were also characterized.
