Microminiature thermionic converters (MTCs) manufactured using MEMS manufacturing techniques including chemical vapor deposition, and having high energy-conversion efficiencies and variable operating temperatures. The MTCs of the invention incorporate cathode to anode spacing of about 1 micron or less and use cathode and anode materials having work functions ranging from about 1 eV to about 3 eV. The MTCs of the present invention have maximum efficiencies of just under 30%, and thousands of the devices can be fabricated at modest costs.
