    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes forming a plurality of thermocouples coupled in series by forming first metal segments comprising a first metal, each of the first metal segments having a L-shape. The method further includes forming a plurality of deep openings to expose a first contact region of each of the first metal segments, and forming a plurality of shallow openings to expose a second contact region of each of the first metal segments. The method further includes forming second metal segments comprising a second metal over the dielectric layer. The second metal is a different type of metal than the first metal. Each of the second metal segments contacts one of the first contact region of the first metal segments through one of the plurality of deep openings and contacts one of the second contact region of the first metal segments through one of the plurality of shallow openings. The plurality of thermocouples is formed within a building component.
