This work demonstrates the micro-heat sink based on silicon nanowires formed by metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) for heat dissipation enhancement to improve the performance of the micro-thermoelectric generator (mu-TEG). The heat dissipation through the micro-heat sink is enhanced by increasin...
