Abstract
A thermoelectric conversion element includes a laminated body including a plurality of first thermoelectric conversion parts, a plurality of second thermoelectric conversion parts, and an insulator layer. The first thermoelectric conversion parts and the second thermoelectric conversion parts are alternately arranged in the Y axis direction and the first thermoelectric conversion part and the second thermoelectric conversion part are joined in a region of the surface between the first thermoelectric conversion part and the second thermoelectric conversion part in the Y axis direction, and in the other region of the surface in the Y axis direction, the insulator layer is interposed between the first thermoelectric conversion part and the second thermoelectric conversion part. The laminated body has a first principal surface and a second principal surface at both ends in the Y axis direction, and both end surfaces in a direction perpendicular to the Y axis direction. The insulator layer covers the end surface of the second thermoelectric conversion part.
