Through the practical template-replicated approach, sizes and density of nanodots arrays are controllable though adjusting hole size, period and shape of AAM template, and components of the nanodot can also be controlled by select the different potential and deposition time of the materials. Hexagonally packed nanodots of other materials can also be synthesized by this template-based duplicate approach.

Recent studies reveal that 25 30 35 40 improved efficiencies of TE materials can be obtained through quantum confinement [3,4] .Last few years, there are rapid increasing interesting on zero-dimension nanostructures[5-7] such as nanodot (quantum dot) [8,9] and superlattice nanowire [10] because of much sharper density of state in nanodot that can increase thermoelec
