This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop a power generation device capable of converting waste heat into electricity with much lower cost/watt than existing devices. This work is accomplished by bringing together principles of physics and materials science in practical wafer scale semiconductor manufacturing, enabling new, low cost products.The thermoelectric power generation devices to be developed in this work are key to realizing the often touted but yet unrealized societal benefits of thermoelectric power generation. Examples of benefits that can be forseen in the initial target market, the transportation industry, are economic benefits for the public from reduced fuel consumption and reduced environmental impact due to more efficient operation.

这个小型企业创新研究阶段II阶段项目将开发一种能够将废热转换为比现有设备低得多的电力/瓦的发电设备。这项工作是通过将物理和材料科学原理汇总在实用晶片量表半导体制造中的原理，从而实现了新的低成本产品。在这项工作中要开发的热电发电设备是实现经常吹捧但未实现的热电发电的社会收益的关键。在最初的目标市场（运输行业）可以预见的福利的例子是公众从燃油消耗减少和由于更有效的运营而降低环境影响的经济利益。
