摘要:
A microelectromechanical device and a method for producing it having at least one layer on a substrate, in particular a thermoelectric layer on a substrate, the thermal expansion coefficient of the at least one layer and the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate differing greatly. The at least one layer is coupled to at least one stress reduction means for the targeted reduction of lateral mechanical stresses present in the layer. This achieves a stress-free layer or enables stress-free growth.

A method produces a thermoelectric layer structure on a substrate and the thermoelectric layer structure has at least one electrically anisotropically conductive V-VI layer, in particular a (Bi, Sb)2 (Te, Se)3 layer. The V-VI layer is formed by use of a seed layer or by a structure formed in the substrate, and disposed relative to the substrate such that an angle between the direction of the highest conductivity of the V-VI layer and the substrate is greater than 0°. The orientation can also be effected by an electric field. Components are formed of the thermoelectric layer structure in which the angle between the direction of the highest conductivity of the V-VI layer and the substrate is greater than 0°. As a result, the known anisotropy of the V-VI materials can advantageously be used for the construction of components.

A semiconductor component has at least one Peltier element and at least one thermogenerator element that are thermally coupled to one another via a coupling device. By virtue of the thermal coupling of the Peltier element and the thermogenerator element through the coupling device, it is possible to use the Peltier element to cool a microstructure, in particular an optoelectronic component (e.g. a laser diode). Efficient temperature regulation and efficient operation of an optoelectronic component are thus possible.

A thermogenerator arrangement is provided. The thermogenerator arrangement comprising an electrically operable device, switching means by means of which the device can be switched from a first, energy-saving state to a second, active state and at least one thermogenerator which generates an electrical signal when there is a temperature change in its environment, which electrical signal is forwarded to the switching means. The switching means are formed such that switching the device from the first state to the second state is effected in dependence on the electrical signal of the thermogenerator.

The invention relates to a method for production of at least one thermoelectric apparatus with the steps of: preparation of a first wafer (1) which is formed from a thermoelectric material of a first conductivity type; preparation of a second wafer which is formed from a thermoelectric material of a second conductivity type; structuring of the first wafer (1) so that a group of first thermoelectric structures (7) is produced; structuring of the second wafer so that a group of second thermoelectric structures is produced; and linking of the first to the second wafer in such a manner that the first and the second thermoelectric structures are electrically connected together and thus form the thermoelectric apparatus. According to the invention, before the structuring of the first wafer (1), a first contact material (3) is deposited on the first wafer (1) and/or before the structuring of the second wafer, a second contact material is deposited onto the second wafer.
