Abstract

A thermoelectric device, comprising a first heat conducting layer having a cold pole and a second heat conducting layer substantially devoid of a hot pole, the first and the second heat conducting layers being interposed by at least one semiconductor layer, being under a potential difference and capable of transporting heat away from the first heat conducting layer, in a manner that the heat is dissipated substantially uniformly over the second heat conducting layer.
