Method of manufacturing a thermoelectric power generation element and the heat generating element

Thermoelectric device disclosed in the present application, first an electrode (E1) and the second electrode (E2) disposed opposite to each other, a first main surface and a second major surface, the first major surface and a second is located between the main surface, and a laminate having a first end face (25) and a second end surface (27) on which the first electrode and the second electrode is electrically connected (10L), laminate, than the metal and the metal a first material comprising a low particle thermal conductivity, a first layer formed from a first material particles are dispersed in metal, than the first material It has a structure in which the second layer are stacked alternately Seebeck coefficient high thermal conductivity is formed from the lower second material, a plurality of the stacking surface of the first layer and the plurality of second layer, the first electrode and inclined with respect to the direction in which the second electrode opposing the first by a temperature difference between the first major surface and a second major surface A potential difference is generated between the electrode and the second electrode.
