Provided is a thermoelectric array including a plurality of thermoelectric elements arranged in m rows and n columns (each of m and n is an integer equal to or more than 1), each thermoelectric element including a heat absorption layer, a first heat sink layer, a second heat sink layer, a first-conductivity-type leg, and a second-conductivity-type leg formed on the same plane. The heat absorption layers of the thermoelectric elements adjacently disposed in a row or column direction are disposed adjacent to each other, and the first and second heat sink layers of the adjacent thermoelectric elements are disposed adjacent to each other. In this case, thermal interference between adjacent thermoelectric elements may be minimized, thereby obtaining a thermoelectric array having a high figure of merit.
