Design and Simulation of Thermopile Sensor Technology Based on Porous Silicon

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermopile sensor using porous silicon (PS) as thermal isolation layer was designed. Thermal stability and mechanical property of sensor were simulated by IntelliSuite CAD software. Analysis results showed stress and temperature distribution of PS layer. Ansys simulation indicated that thermocouple’s thermoelectromotive force was decided by its material composition. If thermocouple was composed of polycrystalline silicon/aluminum, its thermoelectromotive force would reach 256.8 μV/K.
