Abstract
A method and device for measuring thermoelectric characteristics of a combinatorial sample. The method and device are useful for rapid sample evaluation, the investigation of thermoelectric materials, and the carrier control of semiconductors. The device includes combinatorial samples patterned with a metal mask, a pair of sample holders for applying a small temperature gradient to the sample, a thermocouple for measuring the temperature gradient, and a probe pin array in contact with the sample.
