    Abstract: An embodiment of a thermoelectric device may include a plurality of thermoelectric cells disposed between first and second planes. Each of the thermoelectric cells may include a thermoelectric element formed from a thermoelectric material of a single semiconductor type, the thermoelectric element including a first end, a second end, and a portion extending from the first end to the second end, the portion extending from the first end to the second end including at least two surfaces that face each other; and at least one conductive element electrically connected to and extending away from the second end of the thermoelectric element toward the first end of the thermoelectric element of another thermoelectric cell. Each thermoelectric cell also may further include an insulating element disposed between the at least two surfaces of the thermoelectric element and between portions of the at least one conductive element.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to electrical overstress protection devices, and more particularly to electrical overstress monitoring devices for detecting electrical overstress events in semiconductor devices. In one aspect, a device configured to monitor electrical overstress (EOS) events includes a pair of spaced conductive structures configured to electrically arc in response to an EOS event, wherein the spaced conductive structures are formed of a material and have a shape such that arcing causes a detectable change in shape of the spaced conductive structures, and wherein the device is configured such that the change in shape of the spaced conductive structures is detectable to serve as an EOS monitor.
