Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a thermoelectric conversion module that eliminates the need for supports and solder materials, allows collective and efficient production of a plurality of thin thermoelectric conversion modules, and includes the following steps (A) to (D): (A) disposing a chip of a P-type thermoelectric conversion material and a chip of an N-type thermoelectric conversion material on a support so as to be spaced apart from each other; (B) filling an insulator between the chip of the P-type thermoelectric conversion material and the chip of the N-type thermoelectric conversion material to obtain an integrated body including the chip of the P-type thermoelectric conversion material, the chip of the N-type thermoelectric conversion material, and the insulator; (C) peeling the integrated body obtained in step (B) from the support; and (D) connecting the chip of the P-type thermoelectric conversion material and the chip of the N-type thermoelectric conversion material via an electrode in the integrated body after step (C).
