Abstract:
A method for producing a thermoelectric generator includes a preparation step, a connection step and an insertion step. In the preparation step, a first substrate, a thermoelectric generator material and a second substrate are prepared. In the connection step, the generator material is connected to the first substrate and the second substrate. In this way, a first side of the generator material is connected to the first substrate in a thermally and electrically conductive manner. A second side of the generator material, opposite the first side, is connected to the second substrate in a thermally and electrically conductive manner. In the insertion step, a support material is inserted between the first substrate and the second substrate, in order to support the first substrate and the second substrate against each other and/or to mechanically connect them together.
Abstract:
A microelectronic component arrangement includes a sensor and a carrier. The sensor has a detection surface and a region including contact elements situated at a first distance with respect to one another. The carrier includes a mounting surface, and the sensor is fixed on the carrier by the contact elements situated at a first distance with respect to one another at least regionally. The detection surface is opposite the mounting surface in a manner having a second distance with respect to the mounting surface. The contact elements are wetted by a mechanically stabilizing material, the region including the contact elements is enclosed by the mechanically stabilizing material, and the detection surface is free of the mechanically stabilizing material.

Abstract:
Measures are described which simplify the functional testing of a component having an MEMS element provided with a pressure-sensitive sensor diaphragm, and which allow a self-calibration of the component even after it is already in place, i.e., following the end of the production process. The component has a housing, in which are situated at least one MEMS element having a pressure-sensitive sensor diaphragm and a switching arrangement for detecting the diaphragm deflections as measuring signals; an arrangement for analyzing the measuring signals; and an arrangement for the defined excitation of the sensor diaphragm. The housing has at least one pressure connection port. The arrangement for exciting the sensor diaphragm includes at least one selectively actuable actuator component for generating defined pressure pulses that act on the sensor diaphragm.
Abstract:
An electrical circuit includes a component, a thermoelectric generator, and a housing. The component is a sensor element configured to sense a quantity to be measured. The component is mechanically connected to an element side of a carrier element of the circuit. The thermoelectric generator is electrically connected to the component and mechanically connected to the carrier element. The thermoelectric generator is configured to supply the component with electrical energy by using a heat flow flowing through the thermoelectric generator. The housing is arranged on the element side of the carrier element and at least partially covers the component and the thermoelectric generator. The housing is configured to conduct the heat flow to the thermoelectric generator.
