Abstract
A method for manufacturing a thermoelectric generator includes the steps of replicating a structure into a flexible substrate for providing a set of cavities; providing an initiator in the cavities for growing respective piles of thermoelectric materials; growing the respective piles of thermoelectric materials from said initiator; and providing electrical connection between the respective piles of thermoelectric materials for forming thermocouples of the thermoelectric generator.
