PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric conversion element that facilitates high volume production of thermoelectric conversion modules with high efficiency of thermoelectric conversion, and possibly operable in small-sized integration, and to provide a thermoelectric conversion module employing the same. SOLUTION: The thermoelectric conversion element 10 includes a p-type semiconductor element 2a having a Seebeck effect, and filled in one inner portion through the partition 1a of an insulating supporter 1; an n-type semiconductor element 2b having the Seebeck effect, filled in another inner portion through the partition 1a, and directly electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor element 2a at one end 1c; and an electrode formed in the p-type semiconductor element 2a and the n-type semiconductor element 2b at an opening 1b. The thermoelectric conversion element 10 can be connected to another element by the electrode 6 mounted at another side of the insulating supporter 1 in the thermoelectic conversion element 10, and can be connected in series at the upper and lower surfaces of the p-type and the n-type semiconductor elements 2a, 2b without using an electrode plate.
