Abstract:
Provided is a thermoelectric module including electrodes and P-type and N-type semiconductors formed on a substrate by a printing method. The thermoelectric module includes upper and lower substrates ( 110  and  120 ) formed of ceramic or aluminum and forming upper and lower surfaces of the thermoelectric module; electrodes ( 130 ) disposed on surfaces of the upper and lower substrates ( 110  and  120 ), the electrodes being formed of an electrically conductive material for transmitting electric power; a plurality of P-type and N-type semiconductors ( 140  and  150 ) spaced between the electrodes ( 130 ), the P-type and N-type semiconductors ( 140  and  150 ) being forming by sintering a paste mixture of thermoelectric powder and an organic solvent, wherein the electrodes ( 130 ) and the P-type and N-type semiconductors ( 140  and  150 ) are formed by a printing method. With this configuration, thin thermoelectric module having various sizes and shapes can be provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a thermoelectric module, the method comprising:\n providing an upper substrate and a lower substrate, the upper substrate forming an upper surface of the thermoelectric module, the lower substrate forming a lower surface of the thermoelectric module; forming an upper electrode on the upper substrate and a lower electrode on the lower substrate; forming a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor in the form of a paste on the surface of any one of the upper electrode and the lower electrode; and bonding the upper substrate and the lower substrate.
