TL;DR: In-depth analysis of TEGs is presented, starting by an extensive description of their working principle, types, used materials, figure of merit, improvement techniques including different thermoelectric materials arrangement (conventional, segmented and cascaded), and used technologies and substrates types (silicon, ceramics and polymers).

TL;DR: 3D effects which give the opportunity to better predict not only sensor sensitivity but also power dissipation are investigated, and detector's length decrease is found to have a significant effect on sensitivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the characteristics and critical operating temperatures of on-membrane embedded MOSFETs from an experimental and analytical point of view, and conclude the possibility of integrating electronic circuitry in the close vicinity of micro-heaters and hot operation transducers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a detailed electromagnetic modeling for a new structure of a monolithic CMOS micromachined inductive microphone, based on the variation of mutual inductance between an external fixed inductor and an internal suspended inductor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 3D FEM simulations of a CMOS MEMS convective accelerometer and show that the maximum sensitivity location is at a distance of 125μm from the heater center.
