In an integrated micro-thermoelectric (TE) device, we found that any change in peripheral parts of thermoelements such as metal/semiconductor contacts affect to the TE power generation in the device. In this work, we fabricated integrated micro-thermoelectric generator using Silicon Nanowire (Si-NW) thermoelements with different metal/Si contact numbers. The results show that a variation of temperature gradient happened through the Si-NWs due to the alternation of metal/Si contact numbers.
