  • Patent number: 11955375
    Abstract: A composite structure, intended for a planar co-integration of electronic components of different functions, the composite structure including from its base towards its surface: a support substrate made of a first material, the support substrate including cavities each opening into an upper face of the support substrate, the cavities being filled with at least one composite material consisting of a matrix of a crosslinked preceramic polymer, the matrix being charged with inorganic particles; and a thin film made of a second material, the thin film being bonded to the upper face of the support substrate and to the composite material.

  • Patent number: 11444232
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thermoelectric device where a first part formed in a first doped material and a second part formed in a second doped material each shaped like a comb are manufactured, before being assembled together and electrically connected. Then, the first base of the first part is sectioned into at least one first area and the second base of the second part is sectioned into at least one second area. Each first branch of the first part and each second branch of the second part separated respectively constitute a first element and a second element of a thermoelectric junction, electrically connected via portion of the second base that links them. In addition, each first branch and each second branch separated by a second area constitute a first element and a second element of a thermoelectric junction, electrically connected via the portion of the first base.

  • Patent number: 9761780
    Abstract: The thermoelectric device includes a first set of identical unitary thereto-electric systems, each system including at least one thermocouple and the first set has at least one faulty unitary thermoelectric system. It further has devices for detecting functional unitary thermoelectric systems of the first set of unitary thermoelectric systems, and devices designed to electrically connect a second set of functional unitary thermoelectric systems chosen from the first set of unitary thermoelectric systems, in the form of an electric circuit, so that all the unitary thermoelectric systems of the electric circuit have the same current flowing through them.

  • Publication number: 20130255740
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a thermogenerator (10) comprising a plurality of thermocouples formed of p-type thermoelements (12) and n-type thermoelements (14). A wafer (18), provided with a plurality of holes (20a, 20b) is covered in thermoelectric material powder (22, 24). Pressure (P) is applied to the powder (22, 24) so that it penetrates into the holes (20a, 20b) while heating so as to form a plurality of p-type and n-type thermoelements (12, 14) contained in the wafer (18). The wafer (18) is thinned, the thinned wafer thus forming a matrix (16) in which the thermoelements (12, 14) are contained. While preserving the matrix (16) the p-type thermoelements are connected so as to form thermocouples and the n-type thermoelements are connected so as to form thermocouples, thereby obtaining a thermogenerator (10).

  • Publication number: 20090025774
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermoelectric means (60) that can be woven or knitted, taking the form of an elongate body and having on its surface at least one converter for converting thermal energy into electrical energy. The invention also relates to a structure for converting a temperature difference over the thickness of the structure into electricity, which consists of an assembly formed by the interlacement of textile fibers (8), of said thermoelectric means (60) and of connection means (7).
