Abstract
Method for generation of electrical power within a three-dimensional integrated structure comprising several elements electrically interconnected by a link device, the method comprising the production of a temperature gradient in at least one region of the link device resulting from the operation of at least one of the said elements, and the production of electrical power using at least one thermo-electric generator comprising at least one assembly of thermocouples electrically connected in series and thermally connected in parallel and contained within the said region subjected to the said temperature gradient.
