    摘要: In order to make a thermoelectric device usable in a high temperature environment of 300° C. or above, the necessity for solder is eliminated by bonding each electrode of a second substrate to one end of each thermoelectric element by using gold. Further, a conductive member, capable of accommodating expansion and contraction of the thermoelectric elements, is provided between each electrode of a first substrate, on which bonding by gold is not performed, and the other end of each thermoelectric element. Additionally, a lid is placed outside to the second substrate, and the lid and the first substrate are coupled so that pressure can be applied between the first and second substrates. Thus, the second substrate, the electrodes and the thermoelectric elements are held. This prevents the thermoelectric elements from being damaged due to thermal deformation as in the case where electrodes are bonded to thermoelectric elements by solder.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a thermoelectric conversion module includes a thermoelectric conversion portion, a first external electrode, and a second external electrode. The thermoelectric conversion portion includes a single thermoelectric conversion portion element, or electrically connected thermoelectric conversion portion elements. The thermoelectric conversion portion element includes a high temperature electrode, low temperature electrodes, and an n-type and a p-type thermoelectric conversion semiconductor layer disposed between the high temperature electrode and the low temperature electrodes. The first and the second external electrode are electrically connected to one of the low temperature electrode and another one of the low temperature electrode respectively. The first external electrode and the second external electrode are disposed opposite each other with the thermoelectric conversion portion therebetween in such a manner that the centerlines of the first and second external electrodes are aligned substantially in line with each other.
