Patent ID: 8536439

Claim:
A thermoelectric device comprising: a first insulating substrate and a second insulating substrate stacked on each other; a first electrode formed on a surface of the first insulating substrate facing the second insulating substrate; a pair of second electrodes individually formed on opposite surfaces of the first insulating substrate so as to be spaced apart from the first electrode, the second electrodes being connected to each other via a through-hole extending in a thickness direction of the first insulating substrate; a first conductive thermoelectric material provided in the form of a thin film on a surface of the first insulating substrate facing the second insulating substrate, the first conductive thermoelectric material contacting the first electrode and the second electrode; and a pair of third electrodes individually formed on opposite surfaces of the second insulating substrate, the third electrodes being connected to each other via a through-hole extending in a thickness direction of the second insulating substrate, one of the third electrodes being connected to the first electrode on the first insulating substrate.
