Abstract
A thermoelectric conversion module which has a P-type thermoelectric conversion material and an N-type thermoelectric conversion material electrically connected to each other. The P-type thermoelectric conversion material and the N-type thermoelectric conversion material are joined with insulating material particles (ceramic spherical particles) interposed therebetween, so as not to be electrically connected to each other. The insulating material particles are joined to the P-type thermoelectric conversion material with a first adhesive material interposed therebetween and to the N-type thermoelectric conversion material with a second adhesive material interposed therebetween, and the P-type thermoelectric conversion material and the N-type thermoelectric conversion material are electrically connected to each other in a region other than the region in which the thermoelectric conversion materials are joined with the first and second adhesive material and the insulating material particles interposed therebetween.
