We investigated the thermo voltage of Pt-C granular metals fabricated by focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID) using trimethyl (methylcyclopentadienyl) platinum (IV) as precursor. The FEBID structures were deposited on specially designed microchips that allow measuring the Seebeck-coefficient of the samples. The electronic intergrain-coupling strength of the samples was tuned by post-growth electron-irradiation. Controlled by in situ measurement of the electrical conductivity of the deposits electrical conducting, insulator-to-metal transition and insulating samples were obtained by post-irradiation. We present the used microchip and results of the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck-coefficient measurements of the Pt-C granular samples in a temperature range from room to liquid 4He temperature and compare our results with theory.
