  • THERMOELECTRIC MODULE WITH BI-TAPERED THERMOELECTRIC PINS
    Publication number: 20140137917
    Abstract: The thermoelectric module with bi-tapered thermoelectric pins is a semiconductor device configured as a thermoelectric power generator that has pins made of Bismuth Telluride that attach to a ceramic hot plate and a ceramic cold plate to form a thermoelectric module (TEM). The pins will include at least one N-doped pin and one P-doped pin. The bi-tapered pin structure of the TE pins exhibits low maximum thermal stress as predicted by thermal analysis, thereby maintaining thermal, electrical, and mechanical integrity of the TEM device.
