Nanostructured silicon is a promising material for thermoelectric conversion because the thermal conductivity in silicon nanostructures can be strongly reduced with respect to that of bulk materials. We present thermal conductivity measurements, performed with the…
Silicon is a material with very good thermoelectric properties, with regard to Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity. Low thermal conductivities, and hence high thermal to electrical conversion efficiencies, can be achieved in nanostructures, which are…
Conventional techniques for thermal conductivity measurements can lead to unreliable results when applied to nanostructures because heaters and temperature sensors needed for the measurement cannot have a negligible size and therefore perturb the result. In…
We discuss processes for the fabrication of devices for thermoelectric generation, based on silicon nanostructures. The main issue that we address is the design and development of fabrication processes for devices exploiting a large number…
This work presents a fully digital implementation of an audio front-end for portable applications developed in a low-power perspective.Such platform acquires audio samples through a four digital Pulse Digital Modulation (PDM) microphones array andimplements two-channel…
