     deep reactive-ion etching at cryogenic temperatures (cryo-drie) has been used to produce arrays of silicon nanowires (nws) for thermoelectric (te) power generation devices. using cryo-drie, we were able to fabricate nws of large aspect ratios (up to 32) using a photoresist mask. roughening of the nw sidewalls occurred, which has been recognized as beneficial for low thermal conductivity. generated nws, which were 7 μm in length and 220 nm to 270 nm in diameter, were robust enough to be stacked with a bulk silicon chip as a common top contact to the nws. mechanical support of the nw array, which can be created by filling the free space between the nws using silicon oxide or polyimide, was not required. the seebeck voltage, measured across multiple stacks of up to 16 bulk silicon dies, revealed negligible thermal interface resistance. with stacked silicon nws, we observed seebeck voltages that were an order of magnitude higher than those observed for bulk silicon. degradation of the te performance of silicon nws was not observed for temperatures up to 470°c and temperature gradients up to 170 k.
