We have fabricated thermoelectric devices using and prepared by radio-frequency sputtering. The devices are composed of (a) –chromel of 20 pairs on glass, (b) –chromel of 20 pairs on glass, and (c) -chromel of 20 pairs on polyimide film. The maximum output power and the open output voltage were (a) and at the temperature difference , and at , (b) and at , and at , and (c) and at , and at , respectively.
