Abstract

A thermopile sensor composed of 196 pairs of p–n thin film legs was processed on a glass substrate by using successive electrodeposition of the n-typeBi–Teand the p-typeSb–Tethin films. The 5.3-μm thickBi–Tefilm, electrodeposited at a constant voltage of -50 mV in the 50-mM electrolyte with theBi/(Bi + Te)mole ratio of 0.5, exhibited a Seebeck coefficient of -67 μV/K. The 5.2-μm thickSb–Tefilm, electrodeposited at a constant voltage of 20 mV in the 70-mM solution with theSb/(Sb + Te)mole ratio of 0.9, possessed a Seebeck coefficient of 63 μV/K. The thermopile sensor exhibited the sensitivities of 13.1 mV/K with temperature differences smaller than 9 K and of 27.3 mV/K with temperature differences larger than 9 K respectively, across the hot and cold ends.
