Abstract(in English) With the aim of realizing high-sensitivity thermopile infrared-photodetectors, we have investigated the enhancement of the thermoelectric performance by introducing SiGe nanowires. In the present study, we successfully produced compositionally homogeneous Si1-xGex polycrystals, which is required for fabrication of SiGe nanowires, using a temperature gradient growth method established by ourselves. In-situ x-ray penetration method was used for clarifying the detail growth mechanism, and Si transport due to solutal convection and crystalization position were made clear. In addition, we formed p- and n-type Si1-xGex by doping Ga and Sb, respectively. Their thermoelectric characteristics were also evaluated.
