  • Thermoelectric microprobe
    Patent number: 5969238
    Abstract: A microprobe for thermoelectric microscopic measurements comprises a probe body (11), which consists of a doped or intrinsically conductive semiconductor material and has at least one thermoelectric contact surface (19). The probe body (11) can carry a metal or semiconductor layer (17), which is separated from the probe body (11) by an insulating layer (16) except in the area of the thermoelectric contact surface (19). A process for the production of a microprobe for thermoelectric microscopic measurements is also given.
