We here report a method for fabricating a heat-resistant alloy based on NiW electroplating and silicon lost-molding processes. A periodic micropattern was fabricated on a silicon mold by electron-beam lithography and deep reactive-ion etching. A heat-resistive NiW alloy film with a thickness of 2.1 μm was subsequently electroplated onto an Au seed layer deposited on the silicon mold, following which the silicon mold was finally etched, and a free-standing NiW alloy film was released. The NiW film was characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. The film contained 24.6 at% tungsten, and its melting point was estimated to be 1675 °C. Modification of the film's spectral reflectivity was confirmed, and an emission peak at 1.4 μm was observed; This emission wavelength agrees well with the absorption band of a conventional infrared photovoltaic cell of Ge. Thermophotovoltaic power generation was demonstrated using a Ge photodiode and Joule heating of the micropatterned NiW film, and a radiation efficiency of 9.13 × 10–6 was achieved.
