This thesis investigates implantable thermoelectric generators (ITEGs) that convert body heat into electricity for self-sustaining IMDs. A novel design using a biocompatible PEEK housing with integrated heat conductors was proposed. Comprehensive simulations employed simplified and detailed human models to optimize performance. For fabrication, a novel method created TEGs with high-aspect-ratio thermolegs, maximizing power. A compact TEG with an integrated boost converter was also developed.<eng> Open Access Namensnennung - Nicht kommerziell - Keine Bearbeitungen 4.0 International vorgelegt von Yongchen Rao GutachterInnen: Dennis Hohlfeld (University of Rostock) ; Tamara Bechtold (Jade University of Applied Sciences) ; Georg Frey (Saarland University) Dissertation Universität Rostock 2025 620 621.3 https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005497 Design and fabrication of thermoelectric generators for implantable medical devices--(DE-627)1970904488 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00005497-1 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00005497 oclc: 1590989128 ppn: (DE-627)1970902655
