Abstract
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) are collaborating on the design and fabrication of thin-film multijunction thermal converters (MJTCs). A brief description of thermal converters and their applications is presented, followed by descriptions of the motivation, fabrication processes, physical characteristics and the electrical properties of the thin-film MJTCs produced by the NIST/SNL project.Proceedings Title
