Abstract

An on-chip thermoelectric generator comprises an integrated circuit comprising a substrate and at least one thermocouple integrated with the substrate, wherein the thermocouple is configured to convert a temperature difference into a voltage. A metal bump or metal pillar is thermally connected to a portion of the thermocouple for generating the temperature difference. The metal bump or metal pillar is electrically insulated from said at least one thermocouple. The metal bump or metal pillar is electrically connected to a component of the integrated circuit which is different from the thermocouple.
