A thermoelectric device, an intermediate, a module, and a method for manufacturing the same are provided, in which productivity is high, material costs are comparatively low, and there is a low environmental load. A thermoelectric device, in which a block body has at least one P piece and the N piece made of P-type and N-type materials, which are alternately sandwiched between insulation layers, in which the adjacent P piece and the N piece boundary portions are alternately welded together, with the P piece and the N piece of the block body being electrically connected in a series of zigzags, and a plurality of block bodies are arranged in parallel, the block bodies adjacent to each other being bridged by an electrode to extend the electrical connection in the series; moreover, an intermediate using such a thermoelectric device; and a thermoelectric module using the intermediate are provided. In this case, as the P-type and N-type materials, any material generally preferably used for thermoelectric pairs can be used. The P piece and the N piece adjacent to each other may be partially, electrically connected at the boundary portion thereof.
