PURPOSE:To obtain a thermoelectric transformation method, which generates electric energy from a temperature difference in the direction vertical to graphite layer structure and the temperature difference in the direction vertical to the layer by electric energy and has high efficiency, by utilizing the anisotropy of a carbon interlaminar compound. CONSTITUTION:The temperature of a heating furnace 9 is elevated and the inside of a reaction pipe 3 is kept at approximately 900-1,000 deg.C, and benzene molecules and heavy metal organic matter molecules, whose supplies are controlled by a capillary 5, are fed into the reaction pipe 3 at fixed quantities of several millimol or less in total per hour. Benzene molecules introduced into the reaction pipe 3 are thermally decomposed, and carbon deposit displaying a metallic gloss is grown and shaped on a single crystal substrate. A heavy metal organic matter is also decomposed thermally and heavy metal atoms are inserted among the layers of carbon deposit at that time, thus forming a carbon interlaminar compound constituting a thermoelectric transformation material as carbon deposit acquired. The carbon interlaminar compound manufactured succeeds to the crystallizability of the single crystal substrate and is changed into a thin-film having excellent crystallizability, thus attaining the improvement of orientation at a temperature lower than conventional devices.
