Abstract
In order to achieve a thermoelectric transducer exhibiting a higher conversion efficiency and an electronic apparatus including such a thermoelectric transducer, a thermoelectric conversion device is provided, including a semiconductor stacked structure including semiconductor layers stacked with each other, the semiconductor layers being made from different semiconductor materials, in which a material and a composition of each semiconductor layer in the semiconductor stacked structure are selected so as to avoid conduction-band or valence-band discontinuity.
