In this paper, we present an innovative electric-field-assisted magnetron-sputtering deposition method for films preparation. By grain boundary-engineering, we successeful obtained the ordered Sb 2 Te 3  film with greatly high figure of merit via controlling external electric field. It has been found that the electric field can induce the change in the angle of intraplanar grain boundaries between (0 1 5) and (0 1 5) planes, which leads to the enhanced holes mobility and maintained low thermal conductivity. The energy filtering takes place at the angular intraplanar grain boundaries. At room temperature, a high  ZT  value of 1.75 can be achieved in the deposited Sb 2 Te 3  film under 30 V external electric field. This is a very promising approach that the electric field induced deposition can develop high-performance Sb 2 Te 3 -based thermoelectric films.
