Thermoelectric is an ever evolving field that serves many critical needs (cooling and power generation) in the industry. The key objective of this work is to fabricate Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3) thin-films by varying the various process parameters using a radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering di...
