  • Abstract
    Advanced thin-film processing and packaging technologies are employed in the fabrication of new planar thin-film multijunction thermal converters (MJTCs). The processing, packaging, and design features build on experience gained from prior NIST demonstrations of thin-film converters and are optimized for improved sensitivity, bandwidth, manufacturability, and reliability
