    摘要: A super-lattice thermoelectric device. The device includes p-legs and n-legs, each leg having a large number of alternating layers of two materials with differing electron band gaps. The n-legs in the device are comprised of alternating layers of silicon and silicon germanium. The p-legs includes alternating layers of B4C and B9C. In preferred embodiments the layers are about 100 angstroms thick. Applicants have fabricated and tested a first Si/SiGe (n-leg) and B4C/B9C (p-leg) quantum well thermocouple. Each leg was only 11 microns thick on a 5 micron Si substrate. Nevertheless, in actual tests the thermocouple operated with an amazing efficiency of 14 percent with a Th of 250 degrees C. Thermoelectric modules made according to the present invention are useful for both cooling applications as well as electric power generation. This preferred embodiment is a thermoelectric 10×10 egg crate type module about 6 cm×6 cm×0.76 cm designed to produce 70 Watts with a temperature difference of 300 degrees C with a module efficiency of about 30 percent.

    摘要: A multi-layered structure of a semiconductor device includes a substrate, and a heteroepitaxial layer having a low dislocation defect density on the substrate. The heteroepitaxial layer consists of a main epitaxial layer and at least one intermediate epitaxial layer sandwished in the main epitaxial layer. At their interface, the heteroepitaxial layer, i.e., the bottom portion of the main epitaxial layer, and the substrate have different lattice constants. Also, the intermediate epitaxial layer has a different lattice constant from that of the portions of the main epitaxial layer contiguous to the intermediate epitaxial layer. The intermediate epitaxial layer also has a thickness smaller than the net thickness of the main epitaxial layer such that the intermediate epitaxial layer absorbs the strain in the heteroepitaxial layer. Thus, it is possible to obtain a multi-layered structure comprising an epitaxial layer that is relatively thin and has a low dislocation defect density.
