Our research focuses on fabricating high-quality thin films for thermoelectric generators to recover waste heat and turn it into electricity. Various thin film deposition technique have been researched and developed, including radio frequency magnetron sputtering that is able to produce high-density, robust thin films with better adhesion and high uniformity. This method does not require melting and evaporation of the target materials, enabling most of materials to be deposited regardless of their melting temperature, making it superior than other physical vapor deposition technologies.
