<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a thermoelectric conversion module by collectively forming a large number of thermoelectric conversion material chips on a substrate by means of electrolytic deposition. <P>SOLUTION: A method for producing a thermoelectric conversion module comprises the steps of: arranging electrodes on an insulation substrate 10; electrically interconnecting the electrodes via a conductive member 14 containing a resin support structure soluble in an organic solvent; covering the insulation substrate with a mask 16 which has openings only at portions corresponding to the positions on the electrodes where chips are to be formed; aligning a mold plate 18 having through-holes at the positions of the openings; performing electrolytic deposition in an electrolyte using the electrodes for cathode electrodes with conductive members intervening so that the through-holes are filled with a thermoelectric conversion material 32 to thereby form the chips; removing the mold plate, the mask and the conductive member successively for the P-type and N-type thermoelectric conversion materials to produce a P-type half body having the electrodes and P-type chips arranged on the insulation substrate and an N-type half body having the electrodes and N-type chips arranged on another insulation substrate; and combining the P-type half body with the N-type half body to produce a thermoelectric conversion module by combining a large number of thermoelectric conversion elements. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
