A meta-analysis of published data in combination with measurements on Al, Cu, CuO,
CoCrCuFeNi, Ni 90 Cr 10, TiN, and V sputter deposited thin films, demonstrates that the …

Parylene has attracted a great interest in the last years because of its potential use in many
fields. Among all kinds of parylene, parylene C seems the most interesting one for a large …

For harvesting energy from waste heat, the power generation densities and fabrication costs
of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered more important than their conversion …

In microthermoelectric generators (μTEGs), parasitic thermal resistance must be suppressed
to increase the temperature difference across thermocouples for optimum power generation …

The effect of controlling the c-axis alignment (mosaicity) to the cross-plane thermal transport
in textured polycrystalline aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films is experimentally and …

Gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) operate at high power
levels and are thus especially thermally-critical devices. Not only do they require innovative …

The thickening behavior of aluminum scandium nitride (Al 0.88 Sc 0.12 N) films grown on Si
(111) substrates has been investigated experimentally using X-ray diffraction (XRD) …

This article introduces an ultrafast transient hot-bridge (THB) technique for the microscale
measurement of thermal properties. The system comprises microfabricated heaters and …

In this work, NiO films of different layers (5, 10, 15 and 20) were coated on Al substrate by
using sol-gel spin coating technique. The crystallinity of the films was improved with …

Thin film thermocouples are widely used for local temperature determinations of surfaces.
However, depending on the environment in which they are used, thin film thermocouples …
