Definitions
- thermoelectric devices and, in particular, to vertical thermoelectric devices having a relatively large ratio of the area of active devices to the area of thermoelectrically inactive surface.
- thermoelectric devices and materials are well-known in the art and a wide variety of configurations, systems and exploitations thereof will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
- exploitations include those in which a thermal potential is developed as a consequence of an electromotive force (typically voltage) across an appropriate material, material interface or quantum structure, as well as those in which an electromotive force (typically voltage) results from a thermal potential across an appropriate material, material interface or quantum structure.
- Peltier, or thermoelectric, coolers and refrigerators operate on the former principal, while thermoelectric power generators employ the second.
- Typical cooling systems for small devices are based on passive cooling methods and active cooling methods.
- the passive cooling methods include heat sinks and heat pipes. Such passive cooling methods may provide limited cooling capacity due to spatial limitations.
- Active cooling methods may include use of devices such as mechanical vapor compression refrigerators and thermoelectric coolers.
- Vapor compression based cooling systems generally require significant hardware such as a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. Because of the large required volume, moving mechanical parts, poor reliability and associated cost of the hardware, use of such vapor compression based systems might not be suitable for cooling small electronic devices.
- Thermoelectric cooling for example using a Peltier device, provides a suitable cooling approach for cooling small electronic devices.
- a typical Peltier thermoelectric cooling device includes a semiconductor with two metal electrodes. When a voltage is applied across these electrodes, heat is absorbed at one electrode producing a cooling effect, while heat is generated at the other electrode producing a heating effect. The cooling effect of these thermoelectric Peltier devices can be utilized for providing solid-state cooling of small electronic devices.
- thermoelectric devices Unlike conventional vapor compression-based cooling systems, thermoelectric devices have no moving parts. The lack of moving parts increases reliability and reduces maintenance of thermoelectric cooling devices as compared to conventional cooling systems. Thermoelectric devices may be manufactured in small sizes making them attractive for small-scale applications. In addition, the absence of refrigerants in thermoelectric devices has environmental and safety benefits. Thermoelectric coolers may be operated in a vacuum and/or in weightless environments and may be oriented in different directions without affecting performance. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

- thermoelectric elements 110, 120 are arranged m an alternating pattern by conductivity type, i e , p-type 110 and n-type 120, such that adjacent thermoelectric elements separated by their opposing sides are opposite in conductivity type
- thermoelectric elements of like type do not adjoin along their sides or edges, but rather at their corners or apexes
- a minimum lateral separation between adjacent thermoelectric elements is provided by a conformal layer 130, for example, of parylene, deposited over thermoelectric elements of one type or the other
- a conformal layer 130 for example, of parylene
- thermoelectric element 110 is serially coupled to the rest of the array (not shown) by a lower electrode 150 and to the adjacent n-type thermoelectric element 120 by an upper electrode 140
- This n-type thermoelectric element 120 is coupled to the adjacent p-type thermoelectric element 110 by a lower electrode 150, and so on across the row of elements
- the last element is coupled to the adjacent element (of complementary type) in the next row by the appropriate upper or lower electrode, and so on until all desired array elements have been electrically coupled in series
- Current flow withm each thermoelectric element is vertical, i e , through the thickness of the thermoelectric material layer from the lower electrode to the upper electrode or vice versa

- the fabrication substrate 160 is a silicon wafer polished on one side with a coating of about 300 nm of silicon nitride 170 deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), which together provide the support structure 200 for the thermoelectric device Blanket layers of TiW (about 10 nm) 180 and Al (about 1.5 ⁇ m) 190 are deposited, partially protected with photoresist 210, and patterned by wet etching to form conducting ribs.
- LPCVD low-pressure chemical vapor deposition
- the remaining photoresist 210 is removed and spin-on glass 220 is applied to at least partially fill the openings between the conducting ribs.
- the glass 220 is baked at about 400 0 C.
- FIG. 5 shows the structure that may result after planarization.
- the glass layer 220 may be dry-etched using CF 4 for BCl 3 , leaving glass wells 230 to provide electrical insulation between the conducting ribs and thermal insulation between the fabrication substrate 160 and the surface of the well.
- a blanket composite layer of about 10 run of TiW, 300 nm of Pt, and 10 nm of TiW 240 is deposited and patterned to form the lower electrodes of the thermoelectric device. Gaps 250 between individual electrodes are approximately centered over the glass wells 230, as depicted in FIG. 6. These half-micron (0.5- ⁇ m) gaps 250 are easily defined by contact printing followed by dry etching of the top TiW layer, dry etching of the Pt layer, and wet etching of the bottom TiW layer.
- a blanket layer 260 of SiO 2 about 300 nm thick may then be deposited by plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD). This layer 260 protects, among other areas, the previously defined gaps 250, either by bridging over them or by filling them completely, as depicted in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 7 shows the structure after patterning of the SiO 2 layer 260 by wet etching.

This layer is topped with a cap of about 50 nm of Pt 280 deposited in situ under vacuum. The resulting structure is depicted in FIG. 8.

- the protected thermoelectric elements may be annealed if desired.
- the conformal layer 290 is patterned and selectively removed, by dry etching in the case of a parylene layer, with a resulting structure depicted in FIG. 12.
- thermoelectric material of complementary conductivity type has been deposited over the protected n-type thermoelectric elements and exposed portions of the lower electrodes, making electrical contact with the electrodes while maintaining electrical isolation from the n-type material.
- This layer 310 of p-type thermoelectric material is topped with a cap of about 50 nm of Pt 320 deposited in situ under vacuum After patterning and selectively removing exposed material by dry etching the Pt 320 and wet etching the p-type thermoelectric material 310, the structure of FIG. 14 may result At this stage of fabrication, each individual lower electrode couples a complementary pair of adjacent thermoelectric elements disposed atop it
- the conformal layer of dielectric 290 determines, by at least its sidewall thickness, the minimum lateral spacing between adjacent thermoelectric elements of complementary type This layer 290 electrically insulates the two complementary thermoelectric materials 270, 310 and/or elements 110, 120, from each other laterally and vertically, in addition to defining the areas in which the second layer of thermoelectric material 310 makes contact with the lower electrodes 150
- the layer may be dry etched using an O 2 plasma This step is followed by an anneal at 300°C and redeposition of about 300 nm of parylene to form a continuous conformal layer 295, as depicted in FIG. 15 This layer 295 is then patterned and dry etched to form openings 330, 340 through which the thermoelectric elements may electrically contact the upper electrodes, as shown m FIG. 16
- blanket layers of TiW and Al are sputter deposited, making contact with the Pt-capped thermoelectric elements through the contact holes 330, 340
- This metal layer 350 is patterned and wet etched, forming upper electrodes 140, each of which straddles a pair of adjacent lower electrodes and couples together a complementary pair of adjacent thermoelectric elements, as seen in FIG. 18
- the upper electrodes 140 may be formed by electroplating After the contact holes 330, 340 (see FIG.
- an isolation layer of SiN 370 may be deposited over the entire structure by PECVD, after which it may be patterned and dry etched to result in the structure of FIG. 21
- a 100-nm layer 380 of TiW/Pt may be deposited over the nitride 370 and it, too, may be patterned and etched as shown in FIG. 22, forming part of the upper electrodes 140
- FIGS. 23 and 24 depict a solder-free complementary vertical thermoelectric device from the top after formation of the n-type thermoelements 120 and passivated metal links 145, respectively
- a probe hole or via (unfilled) 390 may be formed in the thermoelectric device structure for allowing electrical contact directly to the substrate 160 or other underlayer which would otherwise be inaccessible due to intervening material layers
- additional mask steps and etching processes which may in some cases be deleterious to the material, electrical, or other characteristics of the device may be avoided
- solder-free in this context means that the complete vertical thermoelectric device comprising thermoelectric elements of complementary type, is formed without resort to soldering individual or pairs of thermoelectric elements together to form a functional device
- the solder-free vertical thermoelectric device itself may be connected to external circuitry after its completion by any appropriate means, including solder, wire bonding, and other electrical and/or mechanical attachment means, without exception.
