Abstract
A method of making a micron gap thermal photovoltaic device includes forming at least one standoff on a photovoltaic substrate, depositing a sacrificial layer on the photovoltaic substrate and about the standoff, forming an emitter attached to the standoff and having a lower planar surface separated from the photovoltaic substrate by the sacrificial layer, and removing the sacrificial layer to form a sub-micron gap between the photovoltaic substrate and the lower planar surface of the emitter.
