ABSTRACT:
An improved method of fabricating thermoelectric power generator modules, which are particularly useful in converting solar energy into electrical power and heat, is disclosed. This method involves the formation of an array of longitudinally elongated n- and p-type semiconductor elements tightly contained in a supporting matrix; slicing the supporting matrix containing the semiconductor elements to provide a plurality of matrix plates; and the application of a pattern of electrically conductive pads on opposite surfaces of the matrix plates to connect n- and p-type semiconductor elements, in series, thereby forming a thermoelectric power generator module. This method is simpler, less expensive and more adaptable to large scale production than methods heretofore proposed.
