Abstract

An integrated package structure having a solar cell and a thermoelectric element includes a substrate, a first solar cell and a thermoelectric element. The substrate has a first surface. The first solar cell has a second surface, a first electrode disposed on the second surface and a second electrode disposed on the second surface. The second surface faces the first surface. The thermoelectric element has a third electrode and a fourth electrode. The thermoelectric element is disposed between the first surface and the second surface. The first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected to the third electrode and the fourth electrode respectively. A method of fabricating the integrated package structure having the solar cell and the thermoelectric element is also provided.
