Abstract

See full text

A method of forming a thermoelectric device may include forming a first pattern of epitaxial thermoelectric elements of a first conductivity type on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A second pattern of epitaxial thermoelectric elements of a second conductivity type may be formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Moreover, the thermoelectric elements of the first and second patterns may be spaced apart, and the first and second conductivity types may be different. Related structures are also discussed.
