We have fabricated thermoelectric devices using InN and Al0.25In0.75N prepared by radio-frequency sputtering. The devices are composed of (a) Al0.25In0.75N–chromel of 20 pairs on SiO2 glass, (b) InN–chromel of 20 pairs on SiO2 glass, and (c) InN-chromel of 20 pairs on polyimide film. The maximum output power and the open output voltage were (a) 1.6×10-6 W and 0.21 V at the temperature difference ΔT=345 K, 263×10-12 W and 2.7×10-3 V at ΔT=4.8 K, (b) 3.9×10-6 W and 0.22 V at ΔT=332 K, 282×10-12 W and 2.4×10-3 V at ΔT=4.1 K, and (c) 0.33×10-6W and 0.089 V at ΔT=280 K, 63×10-12W and 1.4×10-3V at ΔT=4.5 K, respectively.
