摘要
Microthermoelectric (TE) coolers are currently used in high power electronic devices such as laser diodes to stabilize temperature. With the aim of miniaturizing this technology, we have developed a fabrication technique to create micro-TE modules with a cross-section element size of about 100 /spl mu/m/spl times/100 /spl mu/m and a height of several hundred mm. We have previously reported the cooling properties of a module fabricated by this technique. With the recent advances in micro-electric technology, which has decreased the energy consumption in an electric wristwatch to about 1 /spl mu/W, there has been increased discussion about utilizing these micro-TE modules to generate energy of several /spl mu/W to power a wristwatch. In response, we have developed a micro-TE module with an overall size of 2 /spl times/ 2 /spl times/ 1.3 mm consisting of more than 50 pairs of elements, and have succeeded in making and marketing a TE powered wristwatch. This paper presents the fabrication and the properties of the micro-TE module, as well as the TE powered wristwatch.
