Abstract

It was well known that thermopile was quiet a competent sensor using to probe the temperature of "hot point" where the temperature can be off the temperature-limitation for normal operation of the main electrical power equipment. In the present work, we aimed for developing new Ge-thermopile materials which can be using a non-contact temperature sensors at various hot-point of the power equipment and evaluation of its output property. As a results of the present works, a new thermopile which were composed Ga-poded p-type and Sb-doped n-type in Ge-semiconductor were designed and manufactured by MBE(Molecular Beam Epitaxy) process and showed superior sensitivity at room temperature.
