AB  - In this paper, we present a planar thermoelectric microgenerator (μTEG) based on CMOS-compatible silicon technology to harvest all forms of thermal energy. These have made by using low cost, abundant and eco-friendly materials. The heat harvesting has performed with a silicon concentrator. The developed semi-3D configuration needs safety support called ‘boss’ to avoid the breaking up of the membranes. The objective of this work is to evaluate the improvement of these μTEGs performance resulting from the reduction of lateral heat losses by using selective anodizing of these bosses. The thermal modeling of μTEGs embedding porous silicon bosses shows an increase in output power up to 65%.
