Abstract

We have studied the temperature dependence of thermoelectric properties of amorphous InN thin films prepared by reactive radio-frequency sputtering. We fabricated 60-pair and 120-pair InN-chromel films, which were deposited on polyimide films. For the 120-pair device, the maximum open output voltage and the maximum output power were 210 mV and 65 nW, respectively, at temperature difference of 168 K.
