Abstract	:	The design, fabrication, testing, and analysis of the microminiature themionicconverter (MTC) is discussed. MTCs are two electrode devices that convert heat energyinto electrical energy. The electrodes are spaced opposite each other in a vacuumenvironment with one electrode heated and the second cooled. Electrons are emittedfi-om the hot electrode to the cool electrode creating electrical power. The fabrication ofthe MTC uses micromachining and semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication methods.These fabrication techniques allow the MTC to have an inter-electrode spacing of20 microns or less with electrode materials having work h c t i o n s ranging fiorn 0.75 to3 eV. The small gap size and low work function features of the MTC give it the potentialto produce electricity at relatively high conversion efficiencies (20-25 ).
