AB  - Implantable medical devices (IMDs) are limited by battery life. 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>
