Abstract

Method for fabricating a thermoelectric converter having a plurality of series-connected thermoelement cells, which are connected in series with one another by means of a plurality of first electrical conductor tracks (3) and each of which has a first body (4) made of thermoelectric material of a first conduction type and a second body (5) made of thermoelectric material of a second conduction type. The thermoelement cells are fabricated by means of method steps appertaining to semiconductor technology.
