Micropelt最初是芯片制造商英飞凌科技股份公司与弗劳恩霍夫研究所IPM的联合研究项目，后者是光学传感器和薄膜技术的RND合作伙伴。Micropelt于2006年从英飞凌分拆出来，由Fritz Volkert团队领导，目标是利用硅片制造技术制造薄型热电器件。对物联网（IoT）开发领域的进一步投资，如能量收集，电源管理，低功耗无线电和产品设计，为iTRV系列和其他自供电无线传感器等终端产品开发奠定了基础。 2017年，Micropelt成为EH4 GmbH的品牌，并从弗莱堡迁至Umkirch。与此同时，两款产品均为第二代和第三代产品，而Micropelt继续开发其在建筑和工业自动化领域的产品线。

成员
Micropelt是EnOceanAlliance的成员，也是德国热电学会的创始成员。

Micropelt最初是德国半导体制造商英飞凌科技公司和弗劳恩霍夫物理测量技术研究所的研究项目，该公司是光学传感器和薄膜技术行业的研发合作伙伴。该项目旨在研究基于薄膜晶圆的热电元件生产工艺的技术可行性。

2006年，该项目被分拆成一家初创公司，最初专注于开发用于能量收集的热电冷却芯片和热发电机（TEG）。第一批TEG原型机是用弗莱堡的试验设备制造的。

2010年，经过广泛的选择，Micropelt投资了洁净室和溅射机。凭借额外的前端晶圆加工设备，Micropelt于2011年6月开设了世界上第一个热电芯片自动化大批量生产基地。

2012年，Micropelt进入下一阶段的增长阶段，扩展到能量收集系统市场的最终产品制造，包括第一个智能自供电散热器阀门»iTRV和工业传感器»mNODE。

iTRV和mNODE两种核心Micropelt产品都经过了广泛的质量测试，现已投入生产和全面的市场部署。

Micropelt started as a joint research project between chip-maker Infineon Technologies AG and the Fraunhofer Institute IPM, an RND partner to the optical sensor and thin-film technologies. The company was spun-off from Infineon in 2006, led by a team around Fritz Volkert with the goal to manufacture of thin-fim thermoelectric devices using silicon wafer manufacturing technologies. Further investments in Internet of Things (IoT) development areas such as energy harvesting, power management, low power radio and product design set the ground for end-product developments such the iTRV family and other self-powered wireless sensors. In 2017, Micropelt became a brand of  EH4 GmbH and relocated from Freiburg to Umkirch. In the meantime, both products are in 2nd and 3rd generation, while Micropelt continues to develop its product lines in building and industial automation.

Partner
Micropelt is in close collaborations with development and sales partners across Europe
The mNODE family has become an integral part of Eaton's Diagnose system and is jointly developed with Eaton Industries
The french market is jointly developed with Decelect and it's brand Ubiwizz

Memberships
Micropelt is member of the EnOceanAlliance » and founding member of the Germany Thermoelectric Society e. V.

Micropelt started as a research project of Infineon Technologies, a German manufacturer of semiconductors, and Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques, an R&D partner to the optical sensor and thin film technology industry. The project was to investigate the technical feasibility of a thin-film wafer based production process for thermoelectric elements.

In 2006, the project was spun-off into a start-up company with an initial focus on developing thermoelectric cooling chips and thermogenerators (TEG) for energy harvesting. The first TEG prototypes were manufactured with the pilot equipment in Freiburg.

In 2010, Micropelt invested in a cleanroom and sputtering machine, after an extensive selection process. With additional frontend wafer processing equipment, Micropelt opened the » world’s first automated high volume production site for thermoelectric chips in June 2011.

In 2012, the company reached the next phase of growth, extending into manufacturing of final products for the energy harvesting system markets, including the first intelligent, self-powered radiator valve » iTRV and the industrial sensor » mNODE.

Both core Micropelt products the iTRV and mNODE have been through extensive quality testing and are now in production and full scale market deployment.
