🧵4/5 This work is a step forward in the co-integration of miniaturized TE harvesters and micro-chips. Although we demonstrated only energy harvesting (for now), this technology holds potential also for chip cooling.
Thanks, Milad Shojaeian and Prof. M. Kraft, for the collaboration.

🧵3/5 Taking advantage of the built-in stress generated during sputtering deposition, we can move from CMOS-compatible 2D structures to elevated 3D structures, which are convenient for efficient heat harvesting/cooling as they enable a high temperature difference across the device.

🧵2/5 Despite their high conductivity and power factor, metals are usually neglected as thermoelectric (TE) energy harvesters and coolers due to their high thermal conductivity. In this work, we demonstrated that metal parts can be engineered to balance electrical & thermal resistance.

4/🧵Right after, a person told me quite roughly that I was riding without a ticket. I could not comprehend where that came from! I was trying to pay, but the driver would not give me a ticket, nor did he offer alternatives. He just closed the door and rode. I couldn't get off!!

3/🧵HOWEVER... on my last day to work, the bus ran out of paper to provide tickets! Unbelievable, right? While I was trying to understand from the driver how I could pay, he closed the doors and started riding. I was suddenly trapped!
