摘要: An electroless Ni layer is often chosen as an effective diffusion barrier in thermoelectric modules. Thermal aging can form a thick layer of NiTe. This study investigates the growth kinetics of NiTe intermetallic compounds (IMCs). The apparent activation energy was determined to be 70.9 kJ/mol. Ni/Co was also selected as an alternative barrier because Co-Te did not form IMCs. Results show that Co can effectively suppress the voids formed at the interfaces. After high-temperature annealing, a very thin Ni-Te IMC formed between Co-P and Te. 其他題名: Journal of Elec Materi 出版者: Boston: Springer US 出版日期: 2012-12-01 出處: Journal of electronic materials, 2012-12, Vol.41 (12), p.3320-3324 資源來源: EBSCOhost OmniFile Full Text Select 版權: TMS 2012 識別號: ISSN: 0361-5235 識別號: EISSN: 1543-186X 識別號: DOI: 10.1007/s11664-012-2269-1 識別號: CODEN: JECMA5
