    Abstract: A method of fabricating a thermoelectric converter that includes providing a layer of a Silicon-based material having a first surface and a second surface, opposite to and separated from the first surface by a Silicon-based material layer thickness; forming a plurality of first thermoelectrically active elements of a first thermoelectric semiconductor material having a first Seebeck coefficient, and forming a plurality of second thermoelectrically active elements of a second thermoelectric semiconductor material having a second Seebeck coefficient, wherein the first and second thermoelectrically active elements are formed to extend through the Silicon-based material layer thickness, from the first surface to the second surface; forming electrically conductive interconnections in correspondence of the first surface and of the second surface of the layer of Silicon-based material, for electrically interconnecting the plurality of first thermoelectrically active elements and the plurality of second thermoelectrically active elements, and forming an input electrical terminal and an output electrical terminal electrically connected to the electrically conductive interconnections, wherein the first thermoelectric semiconductor material and the second thermoelectric semiconductor material comprise Silicon-based materials selected among porous Silicon or polycrystalline SiGe or polycrystalline Silicon.

    Abstract: Process for manufacturing a MEMS device, including: forming a dielectric region which coats part of a semiconductive substrate of a first semiconductive wafer; forming a region which is permeable to gases and coats the dielectric region; coupling the first semiconductive wafer to a second semiconductive wafer so as to form a first chamber, which houses a first movable mass and has a pressure equal to a first value, and a second chamber, which houses a second movable mass and has a pressure equal to the first value, the permeable region facing the second chamber; selectively removing a portion of the semiconductor substrate and an underlying portion of the dielectric region, so as to expose a part of the permeable region, so as to allow gas exchanges through the permeable region; placing the first and the second semiconductive wafers in an environment with a pressure equal to a second value, so that the pressure in the second chamber becomes equal to the second value; and subsequently forming, on the exposed part of the permeable region, a sealing region impermeable to gases.

    Abstract: A thermoelectric generator includes a substrate and one or more thermoelectric elements on the substrate and each configured to convert a thermal drop across the thermoelectric elements into an electric potential by Seebeck effect. The thermoelectric generator includes a cavity between the substrate and the thermoelectric elements. The thermoelectric generator includes, within the cavity, a support structure for supporting the thermoelectric elements. The support structure has a thermal conductivity lower than a thermal conductivity of the substrate.
