Patent ID: 8471139

Claim:
A thermoelectric conversion module comprising: a P-type thermoelectric conversion material; an N-type thermoelectric conversion material; and insulating material particles joined to the P-type thermoelectric conversion material with a first adhesive material interposed therebetween and joined to the N-type thermoelectric conversion material with a second adhesive material interposed therebetween, wherein the P-type thermoelectric conversion material and the N-type thermoelectric conversion material are electrically connected to each other in a region other than a region in which the P-type and N-type thermoelectric conversion materials are joined with the first adhesive material and the second adhesive material and the insulating material particles interposed therebetween, and the insulating material particles have a diameter greater than the total thickness of the first and second adhesive materials to have the first material and the second adhesive material spaced from each other.
